Verifying Accelerated Networking

This section describes detailed instructions on how to verify Accelerated Networking.

To verify that Accelerated Networking is enabled on the Edge, log into the Edge Virtual Machine (VM) and run "lspci" from the command line as described below.

edge:b1-edge1:~# lspci

0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (AGP disabled) (rev 03)

0000:00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 01)

0000:00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)

0000:00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02)

0000:00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: Microsoft Corporation Hyper-V virtual VGA

0fcd:00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx Virtual Function] (rev 80)

8f67:00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx Virtual Function] (rev 80)

9b19:00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx Virtual Function] (rev 80)

9b46:00:02.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family [ConnectX-4 Lx Virtual Function] (rev 80)

This feature does not support the Mellanox ConnectX-3 as it is not managed by the mlx5_core driver . If the Edge VM is assigned the ConnectX-3 Network Interface Cards (NICs) by Azure, the Edge will behave as it behaves today without the Accelerated Networking support.
