Microsoft Azure Integration and Security (legacy) — Question 15

You have a public load balancer that balances ports 80 and 443 across three virtual machines.
You need to direct all the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections to VM3 only.
What should you configure?

Answer options

• A. an inbound NAT rule
• B. a load balancing rule
• C. a new public load balancer for VM3
• D. a frontend IP configuration

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as an inbound NAT rule allows you to specifically route RDP connections to VM3. Options B and C are incorrect because a load balancing rule would distribute the connections rather than direct them exclusively to VM3, and creating a new public load balancer for VM3 isn't necessary when you can achieve the goal with a NAT rule. Option D does not pertain to directing traffic specifically for RDP connections.
