AZ-700 Exam Dumps - Designing and Implementing Microsoft Azure Networking Solutions

To ensure that hosts on VNET1 and VNET2 can communicate with minimal latency, you can use Virtual Network Peering. This method connects the two virtual networks directly through the Microsoft backbone network, ensuring low-latency and high-bandwidth communication.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Set Up Virtual Network Peering

Navigate to the Azure Portal.

Search for “Virtual networks” and select VNET1.

In the left-hand menu, select “Peerings” under the “Settings” section.

Click on “Add” to create a new peering.

Enter the following details:

Name: Enter a name for the peering (e.g., VNET1-to-VNET2).

Peer virtual network: Select VNET2.

Allow virtual network access: Ensure this is enabled.

Allow forwarded traffic: Enable if needed.

Allow gateway transit: Enable if needed.

Click on “Add”.

Step 2: Configure Peering on VNET2

Navigate to VNET2 in the Azure Portal.

In the left-hand menu, select “Peerings” under the “Settings” section.

Click on “Add” to create a new peering.

Enter the following details:

Name: Enter a name for the peering (e.g., VNET2-to-VNET1).

Peer virtual network: Select VNET1.

Allow virtual network access: Ensure this is enabled.

Allow forwarded traffic: Enable if needed.

Allow gateway transit: Enable if needed.

Click on “Add”.

Explanation

Virtual Network Peering: This feature connects two virtual networks in the same or different regions, allowing resources in both networks to communicate with each other as if they were part of the same network. The traffic between peered virtual networks uses the Microsoft backbone infrastructure, ensuring low latency and high bandwidth12.

Allow Virtual Network Access: This setting ensures that the virtual networks can communicate with each other.

Allow Forwarded Traffic: This setting allows traffic forwarded from a network security appliance in the peered virtual network.

Allow Gateway Transit: This setting allows the peered virtual network to use the gateway in the local virtual network.

By following these steps, you can ensure that hosts on VNET1 and VNET2 can communicate with minimal latency, leveraging the high-speed Microsoft backbone network.

Here are the steps and explanations for ensuring that the storage34280945 storage account will only accept connections from hosts on VNET1:

To restrict network access to your storage account, you need to configure the Azure Storage firewall and virtual network settings for your storage account. You can do this in the Azure portal by selecting your storage account and then selecting Networking under Settings1.

On the Networking page, select Firewalls and virtual networks, and then select Selected networks under Allow access from1. This will block all access to your storage account except from the networks or resources that you specify.

Under Virtual networks, select + Add existing virtual network. Then select VNET1 from the list of virtual networks and select the subnet that contains the hosts that you want to allow access to your storage account1. This will enable a service endpoint for Storage in the subnet and configure a virtual network rule for that subnet through the Azure storage firewall2.

Select Add to add the virtual network and subnet to your storage account1.

Select Save to apply your changes1.

To configure a policy in Azure API Management that can be used by an Azure Application Gateway to protect against known web attack vectors and only allow requests from IP addresses in Canada, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Create or Access Your API Management Instance

Navigate to the Azure Portal.

Search for “API Management services” and select your API Management instance.

Step 2: Configure the Policy

In the API Management instance, go to the “APIs” section.

Select the API you want to apply the policy to.

Go to the “Design” tab.

Select “All operations” if you want to apply the policy to all operations, or select a specific operation.

Step 3: Add the Inbound Policy

In the Inbound processing section, click on “+ Add policy”.

Select “IP filter” from the list of policies.

Add the IP address ranges for Canada. You can find the IP ranges for Canada from a reliable source or use a service that provides this information.

 

Here is an example of the XML configuration for the policy:

Save the policy to apply the changes.

Explanation

IP Filter Policy: This policy allows you to filter incoming requests based on their IP addresses. By specifying the IP ranges for Canada, you ensure that only requests originating from these IPs are allowed.

Inbound Processing: Applying the policy in the inbound section ensures that the requests are filtered before they reach your API.

By following these steps, you can configure a policy in Azure API Management that restricts access to your API to only those requests originating from IP addresses in Canada, thereby enhancing security and compliance

To deploy a firewall to subnetl-2, you need to create a network virtual appliance (NVA) in the same virtual network as subnetl-2. An NVA is a virtual machine that performs network functions, such as firewall, routing, or load balancing1.

To create an NVA, you need to create a virtual machine in the Azure portal and select an image that has the firewall software installed. You can choose from the Azure Marketplace or upload your own image2.

To assign the IP address of 10.1.2.4 to the NVA, you need to create a static private IP address for the network interface of the virtual machine. You can do this in the IP configurations settings of the network interface3.

To ensure that traffic from subnetl-1 to the IP address range of 192.168.10.0/24 is routed through the NVA, you need to create a user-defined route (UDR) table and associate it with subnetl-1. A UDR table allows you to override the default routing behavior of Azure and specify custom routes for your subnets4.

To create a UDR table, you need to go to the Route tables service in the Azure portal and select + Create. You can give a name and a resource group for the route table5.

To create a custom route, you need to select Routes in the route table and select + Add. You can enter the following information for the route5:

Destination: 192.168.10.0/24

Next hop type: Virtual appliance

Next hop address: 10.1.2.4

To associate the route table with subnetl-1, you need to select Subnets in the route table and select + Associate. You can select the virtual network and subnet that you want to associate with the route table5.

Here are the steps and explanations for ensuring that connections to the storage34280945 storage account can be made by using an IP address in the 10.1.1.0/24 range and the name stor-age34280945.pnvatelinlcblob.core.windows.net:

To allow access from a specific IP address range, you need to configure the Azure Storage firewall and virtual network settings for your storage account. You can do this in the Azure portal by selecting your storage account and then selecting Networking under Settings1.

On the Networking page, select Firewalls and virtual networks, and then select Selected networks under Allow access from1. This will block all access to your storage account except from the networks or resources that you specify.

Under Firewall, select Add rule, and then enter 10.1.1.0/24 as the IP address or range. You can also enter an optional rule name and description1. This will allow access from any IP address in the 10.1.1.0/24 range.

Select Save to apply your changes1.

To map a custom domain name to your storage account, you need to create a CNAME record with your domain provider that points to your storage account endpoint2. A CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps a source domain name to a destination domain name.

Sign in to your domain registrar’s website, and then go to the page for managing DNS settings2.

Create a CNAME record with the following information2:

Source domain name: stor-age34280945.pnvatelinlcblob.core.windows.net

Destination domain name: stor-age34280945.pnvatelinlcblob.core.windows.net

Save your changes and wait for the DNS propagation to take effect2.

To register the custom domain name with Azure, you need to go back to the Azure portal and select your storage account. Then select Custom domain under Blob service2.

On the Custom domain page, enter stor-age34280945.pnvatelinlcblob.core.windows.net as the custom domain name and select Save2.
