Virtual Networking Flashcards
What type of DNS record should you create to ensure Azure can verify the domain name?
MX
TXT
What does a NS record do?
Tells recursive name servers which name servers are authoritative for a zone
If you have a registered DNS domain and then create a public Azure DNS zone with the same name, how do you ensure the records created in the zone are resolvable?
Modify the NS records in the DNS domain registrar so they point to your Azure DNS NS records
What is the benefit of having multiple NS records?
Redundancy of your DNS service
How would you create Azure AD DNS records in a custom domain for a domain you already registered?
- Add the custom domain name to your directory
- Add a DNS entry for the domain name at the registrar
- Verify the custom domain name
Which IP addresses are reserved by Azure in each subnet?
.0 network address
.1 gateway address
.2 and .3 DNS
.255 broadcast
Whats the smallest possible subnet in Azure? (CIDR)
/29
3 possible addresses (8 addresses, but 5 are reserved)
What networking solution provides network load balancing between virtual machines that reside inside a cloud service or a virtual network with a regional scope?
Azure Internal Load Balancer (ILB)
What networking tool provides SQL injection protection?
Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF)
What protection does an application gateway with Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) provide?
Centralized protection of your web apps from common exploits and vulnerabilities; like SQL injections and cross-site scripting
What is a virtual hub?
- A Microsoft-manged VNET
- The hub contains various service endpoints to enable connectivity; the core of your network in a region
What do Azure Private DNS zones do?
Provide name resolution within a virtual network and between virtual networks
What is Azure Log Analytics workspace?
A unique Log Analytics environment with its own data repository, data sources, and solutions
What do NSG flow logs allow you to view?
Information about ingress and egress IP traffic through a NSG
What additional capabilities does a Standard load balancer offer over a Basic load balancer?
- Supports diagnostics
- Global VNet Peering support
- Compatible with Availability Zones
- Supports HA ports
What might prevent you from being able to peer two VNets?
Address spaces overlapping
What does a backend pool define?
- Critical component of the load balancer
- The group of resources that will serve traffic for a given load-balancing rule
What is a floating IP?
- Enables traffic to bypass the load balancer and go directly to the backend servers
- Enables multiple applications in the backend pool to use the same port
Why might you use a floating IP?
- If you want to reuse the backend port across multiple rules
- Clustering for high availability
What should you do if you make changes to the topology of your network and have Windows VPN clients?
The VPN client package for Windows clients must be downloaded and installed again in order for the changes to be applied
What does enabling auto registration on an azure DNS private zone do?
Makes it so when you link a VNet with a private DNS zone, a DNS record gets created for each VM deployed in the VNet
What are some restrictions Azure has in place for auto registration?
- Only works for VMs
- Only can be used by private Azure DNS zones
- Only created for one NIC, and NIC needs to be using DHCP
What subnets can you assign a NSG to?
A subnet in the same region of the NSG
How would you add or delete address ranges from a VNet’s address space if the VNet is already peered?
Remove peering
Make changes
Recreate peering
Now (2022) you can make changes and sync the networks after changes are complete
Are you able to move a NIC across RGs?
Yes, but the location will not change
How would you enable a webapp to access the resources in a VNet?
Connect the webapp to the VNet using webapp VNet integration
What does enabling session persistence do?
Maps a client’s session to a specific server
What is the default port for RDP?
TCP port 3389
With what tool does Azure DNS support importing and exporting zone files?
Azure CLI
What does an inbound NAT rule do?
Forwards incoming traffic to a specific VM
What does a load balancer rule do?
Forward traffic to a backend pool
What can a basic load balancer balance traffic between?
Backend pool endpoints for VMs in a single availability set or VMSS
