DHCP on NSv deployments in Azure

Per Microsoft, “Azure does not support any Layer-2 semantics.” Therefore, SonicOS Layer 2 functionality is disabled in NSv deployments in Azure. Consequently, NSv appliances operating in Azure do not support VLAN interfaces and DHCP Server functionality.

For information about supported features, refer to the SonicOS 6.5.4 NSv or SonicOS/X 7 NSv Series administration documentation. This and other documents for the SonicWall NSv Series are available by selecting NSv Series as the Product at: https://www.sonicwall.com/support/technical-documentation.
