Deploy your Virtual Network Sensor to your Azure cloud environment.
If your security environment uses a hybrid deployment, or you do not have VMware or
Microsoft
Hyper-V in your environment, you can leverage your Azure subscription to deploy a
Virtual Network
Sensor.
Before you begin, review the Virtual Network Sensor system
requirements and ensure you have a
sign in with permission to deploy virtual machines on the target subscription.
To deploy the Virtual Network Sensor, you must complete the following steps:
-
Choose or create a virtual network for the Virtual Network Sensor instance.For more information on how to create a virtual network, refer to the Azure documentation.
-
Choose or create the network security group and subnets for the Virtual Network Sensor data port and management port.Trend Micro recommends using different subnets for the data and management ports.
-
Launch an instance with the Virtual Network Sensor.
-
Configure the network settings for the Virtual Network Sensor.Azure currently does not provide a function for traffic mirroring. You can use any third-party Network Packet Broker by following the setup instructions for your preferred solution. Trend Micro has tested Gigamon VUE Cloud Suite for Azure with the Virtual Network Sensor. For full deployment instructions, refer to the Gigamon documentation.Before deploying Gigamon, be sure to also review Tips for setting up traffic mirroring with Gigamon VUE Cloud Suite for Azure.
