Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure administrator for a company migrating an application to Azure. The application requires a virtual machine to consistently use the same private network identifier to communicate with on-premises systems over a VPN connection. What should you do to ensure the virtual machine retains this consistent private network identifier?
Create a DHCP reservation for the virtual machine's private address in Azure.
Configure the network interface to use a static private IP address within the subnet.
Assign a static public IP address to the network interface.
Manually set a static address in the virtual machine's operating system.
To ensure the virtual machine retains the same private network identifier, you must configure the network interface in Azure to use a static private IP address within the subnet's address range. This action reserves a specific IP address for the network interface, ensuring consistent connectivity required for communication over the VPN. Assigning a static public IP address affects only external communication and does not influence the private network identifier used internally or over the VPN. Azure does not support creating DHCP reservations in the way traditional DHCP servers do. Manually setting a static IP address within the virtual machine's operating system without configuring it in Azure can lead to IP address conflicts and is not recommended.
