## Symptoms

- Traffic to certain sites does not return to the Security Gateway when the user configures multiple IP configurations on the external interface in the Azure portal.

<br />

## Cause

Azure High Availability (HA) solution only supports two default IP configurations for the external interface (eth0 by default).   

* member-ip (Primary)
* cluster-vip

Any additional IP configurations on the interface result in traffic issues and are not supported.
