To create a VM with multiple NICs, follow the steps below:

Select a VM image from Azure VM image gallery. Note that images change frequently and are available by region.

Step 1

$image = Get-AzureVMImage -ImageName $imagename

$image = Get-AzureVMImage `
    -ImageName "a699494373c04fc0bc8f2bb1389d6106__Windows-Server-2012-R2-20150726-en.us-127GB.vhd"

Step 2
Create a VM configuration.

$vm = New-AzureVMConfig -Name "Edge2nics" -InstanceSize "Large" -Image $image

Step 3
Create the default administrator login.

Add-AzureProvisioningConfig –VM $vm -Windows -AdminUserName “ramesh123” -Password “password123”

Step 4

Set the configuration of the “default” NIC

Set-AzureSubnet -SubnetNames "Subnet-2" -VM $vm

Set-AzureStaticVNetIP -IPAddress "10.0.1.74" -VM $vm

Step 5

Add additional NICs to the VM configuration.

Add-AzureNetworkInterfaceConfig -Name "Ethernet2" -SubnetName "Subnet-1" -StaticVNetIPAddress "10.0.0.14" -VM $vm

Step 6

Create the VM in your virtual network

New-AzureVM -ServiceName "easyedge02" –VNetName “Lync” –VM $vm
