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

To prevent all Azure hosts outside of subnet1-2 from connecting to TCP port 5585 on hosts within subnet1-2, you can use a Network Security Group (NSG). This solution is straightforward and minimizes administrative effort.

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Create a Network Security Group (NSG)

Navigate to the Azure Portal.

Search for “Network security groups” and select it.

Click on “Create”.

Enter the following details:

Subscription: Select your subscription.

Resource Group: Select an existing resource group or create a new one.

Name: Enter a name for the NSG (e.g., NSG-Subnet1-2).

Region: Select the region where your virtual network is located.

Click on “Review + create” and then “Create”.

Step 2: Create an Inbound Security Rule

Navigate to the newly created NSG.

Select “Inbound security rules” from the left-hand menu.

Click on “Add” to create a new rule.

Enter the following details:

Source: Select Service Tag.

Source Service Tag: Select VirtualNetwork.

Source port ranges: Leave as *.

Destination: Select IP Addresses.

Destination IP addresses/CIDR ranges: Enter the IP range of subnet1-2 (e.g., 10.1.2.0/24).

Destination port ranges: Enter 5585.

Protocol: Select TCP.

Action: Select Deny.

Priority: Enter a priority value (e.g., 100).

Name: Enter a name for the rule (e.g., Deny-TCP-5585).

Click on “Add” to create the rule.

Step 3: Associate the NSG with Subnet1-2

Navigate to the virtual network that contains subnet1-2.

Select “Subnets” from the left-hand menu.

Select subnet1-2 from the list of subnets.

Click on “Network security group”.

Select the NSG you created (NSG-Subnet1-2).

Click on “Save”.

Explanation

Network Security Group (NSG): NSGs are used to filter network traffic to and from Azure resources in an Azure virtual network. They contain security rules that allow or deny inbound and outbound traffic based on source and destination IP addresses, port, and protocol1.

Inbound Security Rule: By creating a rule that denies traffic on TCP port 5585 from any source outside of subnet1-2, you ensure that only hosts within subnet1-2 can connect to this port.

Association with Subnet: Associating the NSG with subnet1-2 ensures that the security rules are applied to all resources within this subnet.

By following these steps, you can effectively prevent all Azure hosts outside of subnet1-2 from connecting to TCP port 5585 on hosts within subnet1-2, while minimizing administrative effort.

To achieve the task of ensuring that virtual machines on VNET1 and VNET2 are included automatically in a DNS zone named contoso.azure, and that they can resolve the names of the virtual machines on either virtual network, you can follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Create a Private DNS Zone

Navigate to the Azure Portal.

Search for “Private DNS zones” in the search bar and select it.

Click on “Create”.

Enter the DNS zone name as contoso.azure.

Select the appropriate subscription and resource group.

Click on “Review + create” and then “Create”.

Step 2: Link VNET1 and VNET2 to the DNS Zone

Go to the newly created DNS zone (contoso.azure).

Select “Virtual network links” from the left-hand menu.

Click on “Add”.

Enter a name for the link (e.g., VNET1-link).

Select the subscription and virtual network (VNET1).

Enable auto-registration to ensure that VMs are automatically registered in the DNS zone.

Click on “OK”.

Repeat the process for VNET2.

Step 3: Configure DNS Settings for VNET1 and VNET2

Navigate to VNET1 in the Azure Portal.

Select “DNS servers” under the “Settings” section.

Ensure that the DNS server is set to “Default (Azure-provided)”.

Repeat the process for VNET2.

Step 4: Verify Name Resolution

Deploy a virtual machine in VNET1 and another in VNET2.

Connect to the virtual machines using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Secure Shell (SSH).

Test name resolution by pinging the VM in VNET2 from the VM in VNET1 using its hostname (e.g., ping .contoso.azure).

Explanation

Private DNS Zone: This allows you to manage and resolve domain names in a private network without exposing them to the public internet.

Virtual Network Links: Linking VNET1 and VNET2 to the DNS zone ensures that VMs in these networks can register their DNS records automatically.

Auto-registration: This feature automatically registers the DNS records of VMs in the linked virtual networks, simplifying management.

DNS Settings: Using Azure-provided DNS ensures that the VMs can resolve each other’s names without additional configuration.

By following these steps, you ensure that virtual machines on VNET1 and VNET2 are included automatically in the DNS zone contoso.azure and can resolve each other’s names seamlessly.

Here are the steps and explanations for ensuring that requests for wwwjelecloud.com from any of your Azure virtual networks resolve to frontdoor1.azurefd.net:

To use a custom domain with your Azure Front Door, you need to create a CNAME record with your domain provider that points to the Front Door default frontend host. A CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps a source domain name to a destination domain name1.

To create a CNAME record, you need to sign in to your domain registrar’s website and go to the page for managing DNS settings1.

Create a CNAME record with the following information1:

Source domain name: wwwjelecloud.com

Destination domain name: frontdoor1.azurefd.net

Save your changes and wait for the DNS propagation to take effect1.

To verify the custom domain, you need to go to the Azure portal and select your Front Door profile. Then select Domains under Settings and select Add2.

On the Add a domain page, select Non-Azure validated domain as the Domain type and enter wwwjelecloud.com as the Domain name. Then select Add2.

On the Domains page, select wwwjelecloud.com and select Verify. This will check if the CNAME record is correctly configured2.

Once the domain is verified, you can associate it with your Front Door endpoint. On the Domains page, select wwwjelecloud.com and select Associate endpoint. Then select your Front Door endpoint from the drop-down list and select Associate2.
