Per Microsoft, “Azure does not support any Layer-2 semantics.” Therefore, SonicOS Layer 2 functionality is disabled in NSv deployments. Consequently, NSv virtual machines do not support VLAN interfaces and DHCP Server functionality. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-faq and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2721672/microsoft-server-software-support-for-microsoft-azure-virtual-machines for more information.
