Microsoft Azure Administrator — Question 5

You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named VNet1. VNet1 contains four subnets named Gateway, Perimeter, NVA, and Production.
The NVA subnet contains two network virtual appliances (NVAs) that will perform network traffic inspection between the Perimeter subnet and the Production subnet.
You need to implement an Azure load balancer for the NVAs. The solution must meet the following requirements:
✑ The NVAs must run in an active-active configuration that uses automatic failover.
✑ The load balancer must load balance traffic to two services on the Production subnet. The services have different IP addresses.
Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Answer options

• A. Deploy a basic load balancer
• B. Deploy a standard load balancer
• C. Add two load balancing rules that have HA Ports and Floating IP enabled
• D. Add two load balancing rules that have HA Ports enabled and Floating IP disabled
• E. Add a frontend IP configuration, a backend pool, and a health probe
• F. Add a frontend IP configuration, two backend pools, and a health probe

Correct answer: B, C, F

Explanation

The correct answer is B, C, and F because a standard load balancer supports advanced features such as HA Ports and active-active configurations. Adding load balancing rules with HA Ports and Floating IP enabled ensures traffic is properly managed between the NVAs. Finally, having a frontend IP configuration, two backend pools, and a health probe is essential for directing traffic effectively and monitoring the availability of the services. The other options do not meet all the specified requirements or limitations of Azure load balancers.
