We are deploying multinic photon appliance on Azure.
The VM has accelerated networking enabled, which is a secondary network interface added by Azure for each virtual NIC. Doc related to accelerated networking -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/accelerated-networking-how-it-works.
Suppose we are deploying three nic appliance , the number of interface will be 6 i.e from eth0 to eth5.
Usually
eth0-eth2 are virtual NIC ( also called synthetic NIC)
eth3-eth5 are secondary NIC ( also called vf interface)
My question is whether eth0-eth2 will always be occupied by synthetic NIC’s ?
Have deployed several times and can confirm at each iteration , eth0-eth2 was occupied by synthetic NIC
