Overview of this book

Designing and Implementing Microsoft Azure Networking Solutions is a comprehensive guide that covers every aspect of the AZ-700 exam to help you fully prepare to take the certification exam. Packed with essential information, this book is a valuable resource for Azure cloud professionals, helping you build practical skills to design and implement name resolution, VNet routing, cross-VNet connectivity, and hybrid network connectivity using the VPN Gateway and the ExpressRoute Gateway. It provides step-by-step instructions to design and implement an Azure Virtual WAN architecture for enterprise use cases. Additionally, the book offers detailed guidance on network security design and implementation, application delivery services, private platform service connectivity, and monitoring networks in Azure. Throughout the book, you’ll find hands-on labs carefully integrated to align with the exam objectives of the Azure Network Engineer certification (AZ-700), complemented by practice questions at the end of each chapter, allowing you to test your knowledge. By the end of this book, you’ll have mastered the fundamentals of Azure networking and be ready to take the AZ-700 exam.

Understanding the routing and SD-WAN configuration in a virtual hub

A virtual hub is a place where different networks can connect and communicate with each other. A router that lives in the routing infrastructure units that we discussed earlier is responsible for managing the routing between these networks, using BGP.

Each virtual hub has two default route tables, called Default and None and we can also create additional route tables. By default, all connections to the virtual hub are associated with the Default route table, but we can change this to a custom route table. We can also add static routes to both default and custom route tables, which take precedence over routes that are learned automatically.

When we connect a network (virtual network, ExpressRoute, S2S VPN, or user VPN) to a virtual hub, we can choose which route table to use for that connection (association – marked 1 in Figure 7.14), and we can also propagate learned routes (marked 2 in Figure 7.14).
