Student lab manual

Lab scenario

You need to explore Azure virtual networking capabilities. To start, you plan to create a virtual network in Azure that will host a couple of Azure virtual machines. Since you intend to implement network-based segmentation, you will deploy them into different subnets of the virtual network. You also want to make sure that their private and public IP addresses will not change over time. To comply with Contoso security requirements, you need to protect public endpoints of Azure virtual machines accessible from Internet. Finally, you need to implement DNS name resolution for Azure virtual machines both within the virtual network and from Internet.

Objectives

In this lab, you will:

  • Task 1: Create and configure a virtual network
  • Task 2: Deploy virtual machines into the virtual network
  • Task 3: Configure private and public IP addresses of Azure VMs
  • Task 4: Configure network security groups
  • Task 5: Configure Azure DNS for internal name resolution
  • Task 6: Configure Azure DNS for external name resolution

Estimated timing: 40 minutes

Instructions

Exercise 1

Task 1: Create and configure a virtual network

In this task, you will create a virtual network with multiple subnets by using the Azure portal

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. In the Azure portal, search for and select Virtual networks, and, on the Virtual networks blade, click + Add.

  3. Create a virtual network with the following settings (leave others with their default values):

    Setting Value
    Subscription the name of the Azure subscription you will be using in this lab
    Resource Group the name of a new resource group az104-04-rg1
    Name az104-04-vnet1
    Region the name of any Azure region available in the subscription you will use in this lab
    IPv4 address space 10.40.0.0/20
    Subnet name subnet0
    Subnet address range 10.40.0.0/24

    Note: Wait for the virtual network to be provisioned. This should take less than a minute.

  4. On the Virtual networks blade, click Refresh and click az104-04-vnet1.

  5. On the az104-04-vnet1 virtual network blade, click Subnets and then click + Subnet.

  6. Create a subnet with the following settings (leave others with their default values):

    Setting Value
    Name subnet1
    Address range (CIDR block) 10.40.1.0/24
    Network security group None
    Route table None

Task 2: Deploy virtual machines into the virtual network

In this task, you will deploy Azure virtual machines into different subnets of the virtual network by using an ARM template

  1. In the Azure portal, open the Azure Cloud Shell by clicking on the icon in the top right of the Azure Portal.

  2. If prompted to select either Bash or PowerShell, select PowerShell.

    Note

    : If this is the first time you are starting Cloud Shell and you are presented with the You have no storage mounted message, select the subscription you are using in this lab, and click Create storage.

  3. In the toolbar of the Cloud Shell pane, click the Upload/Download files icon, in the drop-down menu, click Upload and upload the files \Allfiles\Labs\04\az104-04-vms-template.json and \Allfiles\Labs\04\az104-04-vms-parameters.json into the Cloud Shell home directory.

    Note

    : You might need to upload each file separately.

  4. From the Cloud Shell pane, run the following to deploy two virtual machines by using the template and parameter files you uploaded:

    $rgName = 'az104-04-rg1'
    
    New-AzResourceGroupDeployment `
       -ResourceGroupName $rgName `
       -TemplateFile $HOME/az104-04-vms-template.json `
       -TemplateParameterFile $HOME/az104-04-vms-parameters.json
    

    Note

    : This method of deploying ARM templates uses Azure PowerShell. You can perform the same task by running the equivalent Azure CLI command az deployment create (for more information, refer to Deploy resources with Resource Manager templates and Azure CLI.

    Note

    : Wait for the deployment to complete before proceeding to the next task. This should take about 2 minutes.

  5. Close the Cloud Shell pane.

Task 3: Configure private and public IP addresses of Azure VMs

In this task, you will configure static assignment of public and private IP addresses assigned to network interfaces of Azure virtual machines.

Note

: Private and public IP addresses are actually assigned to the network interfaces, which, in turn are attached to Azure virtual machines, however, it is fairly common to refer to IP addresses assigned to Azure VMs instead.

  1. In the Azure portal, search for and select Resource groups, and, on the Resource groups blade, click az104-04-rg1.

  2. On the az104-04-rg1 resource group blade, in the list of its resources, click az104-04-vnet1.

  3. On the az104-04-vnet1 virtual network blade, review the Connected devices section and verify that there are two network interfaces az104-04-nic0 and az104-04-nic1 attached to the virtual network.

  4. Click az104-04-nic0 and, on the az104-04-nic0 blade, click IP configurations.

    Note

    : Verify that ipconfig1 is currently set up with a dynamic private IP address.

  5. In the list IP configurations, click ipconfig1.

  6. On the ipconfig1 blade, set Assignment to Static, leave the default value of IP address set to 10.40.0.4.

  7. On the ipconfig1 blade, in the Public IP address settings section, select Associate, click + Create new, specify the following settings, and click OK:

    Setting Value
    Name az104-04-pip0
    SKU Standard
  8. Back on the ipconfig1 blade, save the changes.

  9. Navigate back to the az104-04-vnet1 blade and repeat the previous six steps to change the IP address assignment of ipconfig1 of az104-04-nic1 to Static and associate az104-04-nic1 with a new Standard SKU public IP address named az104-04-pip1.

  10. Navigate back to the az104-04-rg1 resource group blade, in the list of its resources, click az104-04-vm0, and from the az104-04-vm0 virtual machine blade, note the public IP address entry.

  11. Navigate back to the az104-04-rg1 resource group blade, in the list of its resources, click az104-04-vm1, and from the az104-04-vm1 virtual machine blade, note the public IP address entry.

    Note

    : You will need both IP addresses in the last task of this lab.

Task 4: Configure network security groups

In this task, you will configure network security groups in order to allow for restricted connectivity to Azure virtual machines.

  1. In the Azure portal, navigate back to the az104-04-rg1 resource group blade, and in the list of its resources, click az104-04-vm0.

  2. On the az104-04-vm0 blade, click Connect, in the drop-down menu, click RDP, on the Connect with RDP blade, click Download RDP File and follow the prompts to start the Remote Desktop session.

  3. Note that the connection attempt fails.

    Note

    : This is expected, because public IP addresses of the Standard SKU, by default, require that the network interfaces to which they are assigned are protected by a network security group. In order to allow Remote Desktop connections, you will create a network security group explicitly allowing inbound RDP traffic from Internet and assign it to network interfaces of both virtual machines.

  4. In the Azure portal, search for and select Network security groups, and, on the Network security groups blade, click + Add.

  5. Create a network security group with the following settings (leave others with their default values):

    Setting Value
    Subscription the name of the Azure subscription you are using in this lab
    Resource Group az104-04-rg1
    Name az104-04-nsg01
    Region the name of the Azure region where you deployed all other resources in this lab

    Note

    : Wait for the deployment to complete. This should take about 2 minutes.

  6. On the deployment blade, click Go to resource to open the az104-04-nsg01 network security group blade.

  7. On the az104-04-nsg01 network security group blade, in the Settings section, click Inbound security rules.

  8. Add an inbound rule with the following settings (leave others with their default values):

    Setting Value
    Source Any
    Source port ranges *
    Destination Any
    Destination port ranges 3389
    Protocol TCP
    Action Allow
    Priority 300
    Name AllowRDPInBound
  9. On the az104-04-nsg01 network security group blade, in the Settings section, click Network interfaces and then click + Associate.

  10. Associate the az104-04-nsg01 network security group with the az104-04-nic0 and az104-04-nic1 network interfaces.

    Note

    : It may take up to 5 minutes for the rules from the newly created Network Security Group to be applied to the Network Interface Card.

  11. Navigate back to the az104-04-vm0 virtual machine blade.

    Note

    : Now verify that you can successfully connect to the target virtual machine and sign in by using the Student username and Pa55w.rd1234 password.

  12. On the az104-04-vm0 blade, click Connect, click Connect, in the drop-down menu, click RDP, on the Connect with RDP blade, click Download RDP File and follow the prompts to start the Remote Desktop session.

    Note

    : This step refers to connecting via Remote Desktop from a Windows computer. On a Mac, you can use Remote Desktop Client from the Mac App Store and on Linux computers you can use an open source RDP client software.

    Note

    : You can ignore any warning prompts when connecting to the target virtual machines.

  13. When prompted, sign in by using the Student username and Pa55w.rd1234 password.

    Note

    : Leave the Remote Desktop session open. You will need it in the next task.

Task 5: Configure Azure DNS for internal name resolution

In this task, you will configure DNS name resolution within a virtual network by using Azure private DNS zones.

  1. In the Azure portal, search for and select Private DNS zones and, on the Private DNS zones blade, click + Add.

  2. Create a private DNS zone with the following settings (leave others with their default values):

    Setting Value
    Subscription the name of the Azure subscription you are using in this lab
    Resource Group az104-04-rg1
    Name contoso.org

    Note

    : Wait for the private DNS zone to be created. This should take about 2 minutes.

  3. Click Go to resource to open the contoso.org DNS private zone blade.

  4. On the contoso.org private DNS zone blade, in the Settings section, click Virtual network links

  5. Add a virtual network link with the following settings (leave others with their default values):

    Setting Value
    Link name az104-04-vnet1-link
    Subscription the name of the Azure subscription you are using in this lab
    Virtual network az104-04-vnet1
    Enable auto registration enabled

    Note: Wait for the virtual network link to be created. This should take less than 1 minute.

  6. On the contoso.org private DNS zone blade, in the sidebar, click Overview

  7. Verify that the DNS records for az104-04-vm0 and az104-04-vm1 appear in the list of record sets as Auto registered.

    Note: You might need to wait a few minutes and refresh the page if the record sets are not listed.

  8. Switch to the Remote Desktop session to az104-04-vm0, right-click the Start button and, in the right-click menu, click Windows PowerShell (Admin).

  9. In the Windows PowerShell console window, run the following to test internal name resolution of the az104-04-vm1 DNS record set in the newly created private DNS zone:

    nslookup az104-04-vm1.contoso.org
    
  10. Verify that the output of the command includes the private IP address of az104-04-vm1 (10.40.1.4).

Task 6: Configure Azure DNS for external name resolution

In this task, you will configure external DNS name resolution by using Azure public DNS zones.

  1. In the web browser, open a new tab and navigate to https://www.godaddy.com/domains/domain-name-search.

  2. Use the domain name search to identify a domain name which is not in use.

  3. In the Azure portal, search for and select DNS zones and, on the DNS zones blade, click + Add.

  4. Create a DNS zone with the following settings (leave others with their default values):

    Setting Value
    Subscription the name of the Azure subscription you are using in this lab
    Resource Group az104-04-rg1
    Name the DNS domain name you identified earlier in this task

    Note

    : Wait for the DNS zone to be created. This should take about 2 minutes.

  5. Click Go to resource to open the blade of the newly created DNS zone.

  6. On the DNS zone blade, click + Record set.

  7. Add a record set with the following settings (leave others with their default values):

    Setting Value
    Name az104-04-vm0
    Type A
    Alias record set No
    TTL 1
    TTL unit Hours
    IP address the public IP address of az104-04-vm0 which you identified in the third exercise of this lab
  8. Add a record set with the following settings (leave others with their default values):

    Setting Value
    Name az104-04-vm1
    Type A
    Alias record set No
    TTL 1
    TTL unit Hours
    IP address the public IP address of az104-04-vm1 which you identified in the third exercise of this lab
  9. On the DNS zone blade, note the name of the Name server 1 entry.

  10. In the Azure portal, open the PowerShell session in Cloud Shell by clicking on the icon in the top right of the Azure Portal.

  11. From the Cloud Shell pane, run the following to test external name resolution of the az104-04-vm0 DNS record set in the newly created DNS zone (replace the placeholder [Name server 1] including the [] brackets, with the name of Name server 1 you noted earlier in this task and the `[domain name] placeholder with the name of the DNS domain you created earlier in this task):

    nslookup az104-04-vm0.[domain name] [Name server 1]
    
  12. Verify that the output of the command includes the public IP address of az104-04-vm0.

  13. From the Cloud Shell pane, run the following to test external name resolution of the az104-04-vm1 DNS record set in the the newly created DNS zone (replace the placeholder [Name server 1] with the name of Name server 1 you noted earlier in this task and the `[domain name] placeholder with the name of the DNS domain you created earlier in this task):

    nslookup az104-04-vm1.[domain name] [Name server 1]
    
  14. Verify that the output of the command includes the public IP address of az104-04-vm1.

Clean up resources

Note

: Remember to remove any newly created Azure resources that you no longer use. Removing unused resources ensures you will not see unexpected charges.

  1. In the Azure portal, open the PowerShell session within the Cloud Shell pane.

  2. List all resource groups created throughout the labs of this module by running the following command:

    Get-AzResourceGroup -Name 'az104-04*'
    
  3. Delete all resource groups you created throughout the labs of this module by running the following command:

    Get-AzResourceGroup -Name 'az104-04*' | Remove-AzResourceGroup -Force -AsJob
    

    Note

    : The command executes asynchronously (as determined by the -AsJob parameter), so while you will be able to run another PowerShell command immediately afterwards within the same PowerShell session, it will take a few minutes before the resource groups are actually removed.
