A limitation of NSGs is that they are applied only at the subnet level or to network interfaces (vNICs), not directly to other resources like load balancers or application gateways. This means granular application-layer filtering is not supported, and NSGs primarily operate at Layers 3 and 4.
Question # 10
What characterizes the branch-to-branch topology in an Azure virtual WAN?
A.
Increased redundancy through multiple connections to the central hub
B.
Enhanced security through centralized traffic management
C.
Simplified network architecture with reduced hub dependencies
D.
Improved scalability for branch offices connecting to Azure
The branch-to-branch topology in Azure Virtual WAN is characterized by direct connectivity between branches through the Virtual WAN backbone, which reduces dependency on centralized hubs. This results in a simplified network architecture, lowering latency and optimizing routing between branch locations.
