Challenge 01 - Building a Basic Hub and Spoke Topology utilizing a central Network Virtual Appliance

< Previous Challenge - Home - Next Challenge >

Introduction

In this challenge you will be setting up a basic hub and spoke topology with a Central Network Virtual Appliance. You will also establish connectivity to on-prem via VPN site-to-site or Express Route Circuit if you have access to one.

In this challenge you will learn how to build a basic test bed upon which to simulate different Route Server topologies, like the ones described in the rest of the hack.

Description

In this challenge you will create the topology described in this diagram:

Please perform the following actions:

  • Create a Hub and Spoke Topology as described above. Do not use Azure Route Server yet.
  • Route traffic through the Central Network Virtual Appliance with the use of User Defined Routes (UDRs) in Azure. Configure the Central Network Virtual Appliance with static routes to achieve the latter.
  • Click on the link to get the configuration to deploy an On-Premises Environment using Cisco CSR 1000v
  • Click on the link to get the configuration to deploy a Central Network Virtual Appliance using Cisco CSR 1000v
  • If you prefer or are experienced with another vendor, please feel free to deploy and provide your own configuration. However, the appliance that you choose will be used throughout this hack

Warning

VNet Gateway should be deployed on Active/Active mode!

Success Criteria

At the end of this challenge, you should:

  • Have a basic Hub and Spoke Topology in Azure connecting to a simulated On-Premises Environment.
  • Verify all traffic is going through the Central Network Virtual Appliance:
    • spoke-to-spoke
    • spokes-to-onprem
    • onprem-to-hub
    • onprem-to-spokes
