Topic #: 3
[All AZ-700 Questions]

You have an Azure Virtual Desktop deployment that has 500 session hosts.
All outbound traffic to the internet uses a NAT gateway.
During peak business hours, some users report that they cannot access internet resources. In Azure Monitor, you discover many failed SNAT connections.
You need to increase the available SNAT connections.
What should you do?

  • A. Bind the NAT gateway to another subnet.
  • B. Add a public IP address.
  • C. Deploy Azure Standard Load Balancer that has outbound rules.

Correct. Evaluate if SNAT port exhaustion should be mitigated with additional IP addresses assigned to NAT gateway resource. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/nat-gateway/troubleshoot-nat#snat-exhaustion

B is Honey!! Just modify the IP address Prefixes CIDR ranges from /28 - /31 /28 = 16 IPs /29 = 8 IPs /30 = 4IPs and /31 (smallest possible) = 2IPs

Selected Answer: B
The first scenario in the table at this link. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/nat-gateway/troubleshoot-nat-connectivity#nat-gateway-not-scaled-out-enough Scenario You're experiencing contention for SNAT ports and SNAT port exhaustion during periods of high usage. Evidence: You run the following metrics in Azure Monitor: Total SNAT Connection Count: "Sum" aggregation shows high connection volume. For SNAT Connection Count, "Failed" connection state shows transient or persistent failures over time. Dropped Packets: "Sum" aggregation shows packets dropping consistent with high connection volume and connection failures. Mitigation: Add more public IP addresses or public IP prefixes as need (assign up to 16 IP addresses in total to your NAT gateway). This addition will provide more SNAT port inventory and allow you to scale your scenario further.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/nat-gateway/troubleshoot-nat#outbound-connectivity-not-scaled-out-enough Determine if you can add more public IP addresses or public IP prefixes. This addition will allow for up to 16 IP addresses in total to your NAT gateway. This addition will provide more inventory for available SNAT ports (64,000 per IP address) and allow you to scale your scenario further.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/troubleshoot-outbound-connection#configure-an-individual-public-ip-on-vm Configure an individual public IP on VM For smaller scale deployments, you can consider assigning a public IP to a VM. If a public IP is assigned to a VM, all ports provided by the public IP are available to the VM. Unlike with a load balancer or a NAT gateway, the ports are only accessible to the single VM associated with the IP address. We highly recommend considering utilizing NAT gateway instead, as assigning individual public IP addresses isn't a scalable solution.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/nat-gateway/troubleshoot-nat#snat-exhaustion-due-to-nat-gateway-configuration Outbound connectivity not scaled out enough Each public IP address provides 64,512 SNAT ports to subnets attached to NAT gateway. From those available SNAT ports, NAT gateway can support up to 50,000 concurrent connections to the same destination endpoint. If outbound connections are dropping because SNAT ports are being exhausted, then NAT gateway may not be scaled out enough to handle the workload. More public IP addresses may need to be added to NAT gateway in order to provide more SNAT ports for outbound connectivity.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-network/nat-gateway/troubleshoot-nat#snat-exhaustion-due-to-nat-gateway-configuration SNAT exhaustion due to NAT gateway configuration Common SNAT exhaustion issues with NAT gateway typically have to do with the configurations on the NAT gateway. Common SNAT exhaustion issues include: • Outbound connectivity on NAT gateway not scaled out enough. • NAT gateway's configurable TCP idle timeout timer is set higher than the default value of 4 minutes.

Selected Answer: B
B is Correct Azure Firewall proporciona 2496 puertos SNAT por dirección IP pública configurada por instancia de conjunto de escalado de máquina virtual de back-end (mínimo de 2 instancias) y puede asociar hasta 250 direcciones IP públicas . Una mejor opción para escalar los puertos SNAT salientes es usar una NAT de Azure Virtual Network como puerta de enlace NAT. Proporciona 64 000 puertos SNAT por dirección IP pública y admite hasta 16 direcciones IP públicas, proporcionando efectivamente hasta 1 024 000 puertos SNAT salientes.

Hi all, I think answer is A, because of what is says here - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/load-balancer/load-balancer-outbound-connections#:~:text=The%20frontend%20IPs%20of%20a,load%20balancer's%20public%20IP%20address. Basically answer A is saying assing to a subnet, meaning bigger subnet, to increase number of available IP addresses. Answer B says assing public IP address - not sure how this will help, as NAT gateway is already used and as such must have a public IP assigned.
