Designing and Implementing Microsoft Azure Networking Solutions — Question 88

You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual machine named VM1, a virtual network interface card (NIC) named NIC1, and a Basic SKU public IP address named IP1. NIC1 is attached to VM1. IP1 is associated to NIC1.
You need to upgrade IP1 to the Standard SKU.

What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Create a new NIC for VMI.
• B. Disassociate IP1 from NIC1.
• C. Detach NIC1 from VM1.
• D. Stop vM1.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because you must first disassociate the Basic SKU public IP (IP1) from the network interface card (NIC1) before upgrading it to the Standard SKU. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the requirement of disassociating the public IP from the NIC and do not facilitate the upgrade process.
