Steps to create V-NET Peering using Azure Portal

In this blog, we will show you the Steps to create V-NET peering using Azure Portal.

REQUIREMENTS

• Azure Subscription
• Azure VMs & Virtual Networks

ENVIRONMENT OVERVIEW

• We have created two virtual networks named Virtual-Net-one and Virtual-Net-two for this demo.

• Also, we set the address space range as 10.0.0.0/16 for Virtual-Net-one and 192.168.0.0/16 for Virtual-Net-two.

• The subnet range for Virtual-Net-one is 10.0.0.0/24 and the Virtual-Net-two range is 192.168.8.0/24.

• Also, we have configured a jump server to access the VM’s under these networks.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• VNETs are isolation boundaries and there is no default routing is available between two virtual networks. We need to override this problem.
• We can create a VNET-VNET VPN between two virtual networks.
• Another way to link VNETs are through VNET Peering. It is easy to configure without VPN Gateway.
• Make sure that your IP address ranges do not conflict with other virtual networks.
• VNETs should be in the same Azure region.
• This option is less secure compared to the VPN connection.

CONFIGURING V-NET PEERING

• Open the Virtual-Net-one network and select peerings link.

• Click on Add button.

• Provide a name, Resource Manager, Subscription, and Virtual Network details. Then click OK.

• New peering is available on the list.

• We need to follow the same above steps for Virtual-Net-two network.

• The new peering will be created and peering status is set as connected.

VERIFICATION

• Login to the jump server named jumpbox and try to ping the az-vnet02-vm IP 192.168.8.4.

• Also, we are able to access the test website which was hosted on az-vnet02-vm.
