If we have VPN or Express Route connectivity to Azure, we can connect to virtual machines using…
If we need to set up a connection between two independent networks (not between VLANs), we have to use a virtual private network (VPN) connections. In Azure, we use VNets to create private networks. If we need to communicate between two VNets, we have to use one of the following methods,
• VNet-to-VNet Connection – The communication happens between two VPN gateways. This is easy to set…
