Hands-on exercise: implement a BGP-enabled VPN connection in Azure

Here are the tasks that we will complete in this exercise:
  • Task 1: Create the gateway subnet
  • Task 2: Deploy the VPN gateway into the subnet (with an existing public IP)
  • Task 3: Create the local network gateway
  • Task 4: Configure the VPN connection
  • Task 5: Verify VPN connection status and BGP peering
  • Task 6: Verify connectivity between the on-premises network and the Azure VNet
Let’s get into this!

Task 1: Create the gateway subnet

To implement a VPN gateway, the first thing to do is to create a gateway subnet in our hub VNet called GatewaySubnet (the subnet cannot be named anything else). Also, this must be a dedicated subnet, which means no other resource should be deployed into it apart from the gateway.
During creation, we need to specify the subnet address range. This defines the number of IP addresses that will be available to the gateway service for allocation. The...
