This article identifies topologies and constraints for NC2 on Azure.

Supported topologies

The following table describes the network topologies supported by each network features configuration of NC2 on Azure.

Topology Supported
Connectivity to BareMetal Infrastructure (BMI) in a local VNet Yes
Connectivity to BMI in a peered VNet (Same region) Yes
Connectivity to BMI in a peered VNet* (Cross region or global peering) with VWAN* Yes
Connectivity to BM in a peered VNet* (Cross region or global peering)* without VWAN No
On-premises connectivity to Delegated Subnet via Global and Local Expressroute Yes
ExpressRoute (ER) FastPath No
Connectivity from on-premises to BMI in a spoke VNet over ExpressRoute gateway and VNet peering with gateway transit Yes
On-premises connectivity to Delegated Subnet via VPN GW Yes
Connectivity from on-premises to BMI in a spoke VNet over VPN gateway and VNet peering with gateway transit Yes
Connectivity over Active/Passive VPN gateways Yes
Connectivity over Active/Active VPN gateways No
Connectivity over Active/Active Zone Redundant gateways No
Transit connectivity via vWAN for Spoke Delegated VNETS Yes
On-premises connectivity to Delegated subnet via vWAN attached SD-WAN No
On-premises connectivity via Secured HUB(Az Firewall NVA) No
Connectivity from UVMs on NC2 nodes to Azure resources Yes

* You can overcome this limitation by setting Site-to-Site VPN.

Constraints

The following table describes what’s supported for each network features configuration:

Features Basic network features
Delegated subnet per VNet 1
Network Security Groups on NC2 on Azure-delegated subnets No
User-defined routes (UDRs) on NC2 on Azure-delegated subnets with VWAN Yes
User-defined routes (UDRs) on NC2 on Azure-delegated subnets without VWAN No
Connectivity from BareMetal to private endpoints in the same Vnet on Azure-delegated subnets No
Connectivity from BareMetal to private endpoints in a different spoke Vnet connected to vWAN Yes
Load balancers for NC2 on Azure traffic No
Dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) virtual network IPv4 only supported
