An administrator is configuring virtual network peering to establish connectivity across three Azure virtual networks in the same region:
* VNet-App (address space ) containing a virtual machine named VM-App.
* VNet-Hub (address space ) containing a virtual machine named VM-Hub.
* VNet-DB (address space ) containing a virtual machine named VM-DB.
The administrator configures a virtual network peering between VNet-App and VNet-Hub, and another peering between VNet-Hub and VNet-DB. No user-defined routes (UDRs) or virtual network gateways are deployed.
Statement: VM-App can successfully establish a direct connection to VM-DB over the peered networks.
Is this statement true or false?
Answer: Answer
Answer
False
The correct answer is False because virtual network peering is non-transitive by default. Spoke virtual networks cannot communicate with each other through a hub virtual network unless a routing appliance is introduced or a direct peering link is configured between the spokes.
