An administrator is configuring virtual network peering between two Azure virtual networks:
- `VNet1` ( $10.100.0.0/16$ ) contains a subnet named `Subnet1` ( $10.100.1.0/24$ ) where virtual machines are deployed.
- `VNet2` ( $10.200.0.0/16$ ) contains a subnet named `Subnet2` ( $10.200.1.0/24$ ) where virtual machines are deployed.

The administrator configures a virtual network peering link from `VNet1` to `VNet2`. The peering status for this link is Initiated.

True or False: The virtual machines in `Subnet1` can communicate with the virtual machines in `Subnet2` while the peering status is Initiated.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is false because virtual network peering requires two peering links—one in each direction—to be configured before communication can occur.

The correct answer is false because establishing connectivity requires peering links to be configured on both virtual networks. A single link results in an 'Initiated' status and does not allow communication.

Step-by-Step Solution

Create a peering link from VNet1 to VNet2.

The peering link status on VNet1 is set to Initiated.

This establishes the first half of the peering connection.

Create a reciprocal peering link from VNet2 to VNet1.

The peering status on both VNet1 and VNet2 transitions to Connected.

This completes the bidirectional peering path.

Verify data plane traffic between virtual machines in Subnet1 and Subnet2.

Virtual machines can now communicate bidirectionally.

Peering is active only when the status is Connected on both ends.

Key Concept

Virtual network peering requires bidirectional configuration links to establish communication.
