New spoke can't reach on-premises

Problem

vm-spoke2 can't reach srv-onprem on 443.

Your job
  • Get vm-spoke2 reaching srv-onprem on 443
Without breaking
  • Keep vm-spoke1 reaching srv-onprem on 443broken
Background

vnet-spoke2 was just peered to the hub. vm-spoke2 needs srv-onprem on 443 over the hub's VPN gateway, vgw-hub, the way vm-spoke1 already does. Spoke2 was built from an old security template. Spoke1 must keep working.

How to work it
  1. 1See it fail

    Prove the problem yourself before you change anything. Reports are often wrong.

    VM commands forVMs
    1. ssh vm-spoke2
      What's this?

      Opens a shell on vm-spoke2, so the next commands run on that VM. In this lab it's a shortcut. In real Azure you'd connect through something like Azure Bastion, or SSH to an address you can reach.

    2. nc -zv 192.168.10.5 443
      What's this?

      netcat, a standard Linux tool. Tries to open a TCP connection and reports whether it worked.

      • -z only check whether the port answers. Send no data
      • -v print the result in words
      • 192.168.10.5 where to connect
      • 443 the port to try

    Ticks off when the test runs on vm-spoke2.

  2. 2Find where it stops
  3. 3Name the cause
  4. 4Fix it and test again
  5. 5Explain it
