Enabling Azure Accelerated Networking on the Barracuda Web Application Firewall

If you did not deploy the Barracuda Web Application Firewall from the marketplace with Azure Accelerated Networking initially enabled, perform the following steps to enable Accelerated Networking.

Enable Accelerated Networking

1. Go to the Azure portal.
2. Shut down the Barracuda Web Application Firewall virtual machine. If the machine was created in an availability set, all machines in this set must be shut down.
3. Open Azure CloudShell.
   
   

4. Enter the following commands. Replace your network interface card and resource group name:

   az network nic update --name <name_of_NIC> --resource-group <resource_group_name> --accelerated-networking true

5. Press Enter to run the command.
6. On the virtual machine page, select Networking under Settings and check if Accelerated Networking is enabled.
   
   
7. Start the Barracuda Web Application Firewall virtual machine.
