BigIP in Azure - 1nic or 3nic

There are many different typologies available in Azure. What are the pros/cons of using a 1 Nic implementation compared with the traditional 3 nic?

  • When you use single NIC deployment, then all traffic shares single NIC means both management and Data traffic will be on same NIC whereas with multiple NIC, you can separate your management, data, and internal traffic so that each has its own NIC. Single NIC deployment is quite simple architecture but it limits overall throughput as you will have one NIC only which will handle all the traffic.

     

    Hope it helps you!
