SNAT - More ports are available for outbound SNAT connections, reducing the potential for SNAT port exhaustion. At this time, Azure Firewall randomly selects the source public IP address to use for a connection. If you have any downstream filtering on your network, you need to allow all publ...
Second, prevent the firewall to SNAT any traffic, regardless of the destination. This configuration will prevent the Azure Firewall to route traffic directly to the internet. Use this when using the Azure Firewall in a forced tunneling configuration, where another network device will be the egres...
You can work around the limits by configuring Azure Firewall deployments with a minimum of five public IP addresses for deployments susceptible to SNAT exhaustion. This increases the SNAT ports available by five times. Allocate from an IP address prefix to simplify downstream permissions. For a ...
SNAT – Additional ports are available for outbound SNAT connections, reducing the potential for SNAT port exhaustion. Figure one – Sample Azure Firewall Public IP configuration with multiple public IPs. Currently, Azure Firewall randomly selects the source public IP address to use for a connection...
For production scenarios, we recommend having a minimum of 20 frontend IPs on the Azure Firewall to avoid SNAT port exhaustion issues.The following information provides an example architecture of the deployment:Public ingress is forced to flow through firewall filters AKS agent nodes are isolated ...
SNAT ports are used for outbound connections to public IP addresses. SNAT port exhaustion is a common failure scenario. You should predictively detect this problem by load testing while using Azure Diagnostics to monitor ports. If SNAT errors occur, you need to either scale across more...
timer before they can be reused. See our public article onNAT gateway SNAT port reuse timersto learn more. Stay tuned for our next blog where we’ll do a deep dive into how NAT gateway solves for SNAT port exhaustion through not only its SNAT port reuse behavior but also through how it...

This eliminates the potential of SNAT port exhaustion in the isolated internal IP address space when the translation isn’t necessary. Conclusion Users that need multi-tier applications with worldwide accessibility and scalability can use load-balancing algorithms to send clients to the closest endpoint...
SNAT port exhaustion on the APIM VMs There is an additional network device (like a firewall) that is blocking the APIM service from communicating with the backend API Backend API isn’t responding to the APIM requests (backend down or not responding) ...
