Question 1
DRAG DROP

You have two Azure subscriptions named Sub1 and Sub2. Each subscription is linked to a separate Microsoft Entra tenant. Sub1 contains a virtual machine scale set that hosts an app named App1. Sub2 contains a virtual network named VNet1.
You need to connect VNet1 to App1 by using an Azure Private Link service.
Which four actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Configure App1 to run behind a Standard Azure Load Balancer.
In Sub1, create a Private Link service to reference the load balancer.
In Sub2, create a private endpoint by using the Private Link service ID.
Approve the connection request.
Explanation: Azure Private Link requires the service to be fronted by a Standard Load Balancer. The Private Link service is created in the provider subscription (Sub1) referencing that load balancer. The consumer subscription (Sub2) then creates a private endpoint to the service, and the provider approves the connection.
Question 2
HOTSPOT

You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.
Policy1 has the following settings:
• Service: Microsoft Storage
• Allowed Resources: storage1
Subnet1 has the following settings:
• Name: Subnet
• Subnet address range: 10.0.0.0/24
• NAT gateway: None
• Network security group: None
• Route table: None
• Service Endpoints
o Services: Microsoft Storage
o Service endpoint policies: Policy1
• Subnet delegation
o Delegate subnet to a service: None
Subnet2 has the following settings:
• Name: Subnet2
• Subnet address range: 10.0.1.0/24
• NAT gateway: None
• Network security group: None
• Route table: None
• Service Endpoints
o Services: 0 selected
• Subnet Delegation
o Delegate subnet to a service: None
For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Yes
Yes
No
Explanation: Subnet1 has a Storage service endpoint with a service endpoint policy that allows only storage1, so access to storage1 is permitted while access to storage2 is blocked. Subnet2 has no service endpoint, so traffic reaches storage accounts over the public endpoint; since no storage network restrictions are specified, storage1 remains accessible.
Question 2
You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.
You need to control access to storage1 by using NSG1.
What should you configure first?
A. the Azure Private Link service
B. an application security group
C. a private endpoint network policy
D. a service endpoint
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C
Explanation: To control access to an Azure Storage account via an NSG using a private endpoint, NSG support must first be enabled on the subnet. By default, network policies for private endpoints are disabled, meaning NSGs do not apply. Enabling private endpoint network policies on the subnet is required before NSG1 can control traffic to storage1.
Question 3
HOTSPOT
-
You have an Azure subscription that contains multiple virtual machines in two Azure regions.
You need to load balance network traffic across the virtual machines by using a cross-region load balancer solution.
Which type of load balancer should you deploy to each region, and which type of rule should you configure for the cross-region load balancer? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct answer is worth one point.
Explanation: Azure Cross-region Load Balancer works with regional Standard Public Load Balancers. Private or Gateway load balancers can’t be used as backends. The cross-region load balancer supports inbound (load-balancing) rules for distributing traffic across regions; HA Ports and outbound rules aren’t supported at the cross-region level.
Question 3

Your company has an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named VNet1 and an Azure VPN gateway named vGW1.
The company has 50 users that have Windows 11 devices.
You need to ensure that the users can access the resources on VNet1. The solution must meet the following requirements:
• Ensure that the users can establish Point-to-Site (P2S) VPN connections to vGW1.
• Ensure that the users can authenticate by using only their Microsoft Entra credentials.
Which type of tunnel should you configure, and which VPN client should you configure on the users' devices? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: OpenVPN
Azure VPN Client
Explanation: Point-to-Site VPNs that authenticate using Microsoft Entra ID require the OpenVPN tunnel type. On Windows 11, Entra ID authentication is supported by the Azure VPN Client, not the native or generic OpenVPN clients.
Question 4
DRAG DROP
-
You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.
VNet1 and VNet2 are peered with each other. Subnet1 contains only VM1.
You need to configure Subnet11 to support 500 IP addresses. The solution must ensure that all traffic is routed between VNet1 and VNet2 and users can access App1.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Stop and deallocate VM1.
Increase the size of Subnet11.
Sync the peerings between VNet1 and VNet2.
Explanation: Subnet11 must be expanded to support 500 IPs, which requires the subnet to be free of attached resources, so VM1 must be stopped and deallocated first. After changing the subnet size, VNet peering must be resynchronized so routing updates propagate between VNet1 and VNet2, ensuring continued connectivity and access to App1.
Question 4

You have an on-premises datacenter named DC1. DC1 hosts services that use public IPv4 and IPv6 address ranges that you own.
You plan to migrate the services to Azure.
You purchase a new Azure subscription.
You need to provision the existing public IP addresses in the subscription.
What is the smallest IP address prefix that you can use for each IP address range? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: IPv4: /24
IPv6: /64
Explanation: When bringing your own public IP address ranges to Azure using a custom IP prefix, Azure enforces minimum prefix sizes. The smallest supported IPv4 prefix is /24, and the smallest supported IPv6 prefix is /64, regardless of owning larger ranges on-premises.
Question 5

You have an Azure subscription that contains virtual networks, network security groups (NSGs), load balancer, virtual machines, and virtual network gateways.
You enable Azure Monitor Network Insights.
You need to perform the following actions:
• Review the NSG flow logs.
• Monitor resource utilization.
• Review the results of IP flow verify testing.
Which Azure Monitor Network Insights feature should you use for each action? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: Review the NSG flow logs:
Traffic
Monitor resource utilization:
Network health
Review the results of IP flow verify testing:
Diagnostic Toolkit
Explanation: Traffic provides visibility into NSG flow logs and traffic analytics. Network health surfaces metrics and resource utilization across network resources. IP flow verify is a Network Watcher diagnostic exposed through the Diagnostic Toolkit.
Question 6
You have an Azure subscription that contains the resources shown in the following table.
You test DDoSplan1 by running a simulation that targets IP1.
You need to review the DDoS Protection mitigation reports.
What should you use?
A. DDos protection plan in the Azure portal
B. Log Analytics
C. Microsoft Defender for Cloud
D. Azure Monitor Network Insights
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Azure DDoS Protection mitigation reports are available through diagnostic logs, which are sent to and reviewed in Log Analytics. The DDoS Protection plan blade itself does not provide detailed mitigation reports, and Defender for Cloud or Network Insights do not expose these specific DDoS mitigation details.
Question 7
You have an on-premises datacenter named DC1 that contains two routers.
You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains a virtual network named VNet1 and a zone-redundant ExpressRoute virtual network gateway named GW1 that uses the ErGw3Az SKU. GW1 is attached to VNet1
DC1 is connected to VNet1 by using an ExpressRoute Standard circuit named Circuit1. The DC1 routers are configured as endpoints for Circuit1. Circuit1 traffic traverses two physical links.
During a link outage, the connection takes three minutes to fail over.
You need to ensure that failovers between the links take less than one second.
What should you do?
A. For Circuit1, select FastPath.
B. On the routers, configure Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD).
C. For GW1, change SKU to UltraPerformance.
D. For GW1, set Active-active mode to Enabled.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: B
Explanation: ExpressRoute uses BGP for routing, and by default BGP failure detection relies on relatively long keepalive/hold timers, which can result in multi-minute failover. Enabling Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on the on‑premises routers provides sub‑second link failure detection, allowing traffic to quickly converge to the healthy link. Other options (FastPath, gateway SKU change, or active‑active) do not address link failure detection timing.
