Before using your SteelHead-c for Azure
This information will help you make the most of your SteelHead-c for Azure:
• In Azure, NAT rules to a virtual machine are very aggressive. These rules can cause frequent failures of the inner connection pool. To avoid this issue, configure your client-side SteelHead virtual appliances that pair with a SteelHead-c for Azure so that their inner keepalive interval is 30 seconds or less.
cfe (config) # protocol connection addr <azure-sh-ip> inner-intvl 30 oob-intvl 30
• Manually license your SteelHead-c for Azure after it has been created. The Python script packaged with the SteelHead-c image enables you to perform this activity through the script.
• Out-of-path deployment using fixed-target rules and agent-intercept deployment using Discovery Agent are supported.
