Tutorial: Create a secured hub and spoke network

  • Artikkeli

In this tutorial, you create a hub and spoke network topology using Azure Virtual Network Manager. You then deploy a virtual network gateway in the hub virtual network to allow resources in the spoke virtual networks to communicate with remote networks using VPN. Also, you configure a security configuration to block outbound network traffic to the internet on ports 80 and 443. Last, you verify that configurations were applied correctly by looking at the virtual network and virtual machine settings.

In this tutorial, you learn how to:

  • Create multiple virtual networks.
  • Deploy a virtual network gateway.
  • Create a hub and spoke network topology.
  • Create a security configuration blocking traffic on port 80 and 443.
  • Verify configurations were applied.

Prerequisite

  • An Azure account with an active subscription. Create an account for free.
  • Before you can complete steps in this tutorial, you must first create an Azure Virtual Network Manager instance. The instance needs to included the Connectivity and Security admin features. This tutorial used a Virtual Network Manager instance named vnm-learn-eastus-001.

Create virtual networks

This procedure walks you through creating three virtual networks that will be connected using the hub and spoke network topology.

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. Select + Create a resource and search for Virtual network. Then select Create to begin configuring the virtual network.

  3. On the Basics tab, enter or select the following information:

    Setting Value
    Subscription Select the subscription you want to deploy this virtual network into.
    Resource group Select or create a new resource group to store the virtual network. This quickstart uses a resource group named rg-learn-eastus-001.
    Name Enter vnet-learn-prod-eastus-001 for the virtual network name.
    Region Select the East US region.

  4. Select Next: IP Addresses and configure the following network address space:

    Setting Value
    IPv4 address space Enter 10.0.0.0/16 as the address space.
    Subnet name Enter the name default for the subnet.
    Subnet address space Enter the subnet address space of 10.0.0.0/24.

  5. Select Review + create and then select Create to deploy the virtual network.

  6. Repeat steps 2-5 to create two more virtual networks into the same resource group with the following information:

    Setting Value
    Subscription Select the same subscription you selected in step 3.
    Resource group Select the rg-learn-eastus-001.
    Name Enter vnet-learn-prod-eastus-002 and vnet-learn-hub-eastus-001 for the two virtual networks.
    Region Select (US) East US
    vnet-learn-prod-eastus-002 IP addresses IPv4 address space: 10.1.0.0/16
    Subnet name: default
    Subnet address space: 10.1.0.0/24
    vnet-learn-hub-eastus-001 IP addresses IPv4 address space: 10.2.0.0/16
    Subnet name: default
    Subnet address space: 10.2.0.0/24

Deploy a virtual network gateway

Deploy a virtual network gateway into the hub virtual network. This virtual network gateway is necessary for the spokes to Use hub as a gateway setting.

  1. Select + Create a resource and search for Virtual network gateway. Then select Create to begin configuring the virtual network gateway.

  2. On the Basics tab, enter or select the following settings:

    Setting Value
    Subscription Select the subscription you want to deploy this virtual network into.
    Name Enter gw-learn-hub-eastus-001 for the virtual network gateway name.
    SKU Select VpnGW1 for the SKU.
    Generation Select Generation1 for the generation.
    Virtual network Select the vnet-learn-hub-eastus-001 for the VNet.
    Public IP Address
    Public IP address name Enter the name gwpip-learn-hub-eastus-001 for the public IP.
    SECOND PUBLIC IP ADDRESS
    Public IP address name Enter the name gwpip-learn-hub-eastus-002 for the public IP.

  3. Select Review + create and then select Create after validation has passed. The deployment of a virtual network gateway can take about 30 minutes. You can move on to the next section while waiting for this deployment to complete. However, you may find gw-learn-hub-eastus-001 doesn't display that it has a gateway due to timing and sync across the Azure portal.

Create a network group

Note
