Any issue if two vnet address space overlaping

Rocky Mondal 106

Hi,

We have two vnets with same address space 10.0.0.0/16 overlapping address space.

message is showing vnet peering is not possible in overlapping address space vnet.

Now we are planning to implement Azure firewall. My question is this any issue we will face to configure in azure firewall in overlapping address space vnets?

Hi,

I would suggest you to have a setup done with a non-overlapping address space if you want those 2 VNETs to communicate with each other. This was you can scale your design as needed and it will reduce the complexity.

on the side note, even when you have introduce the Azure Firewall in a hub vnet, you will not be able to peer other 2 spokes which has the same address space.

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

I understand that you would like to know if there are any issues with having overlapping Azure VNets.

Overlapping Azure VNets are not an issue as long as you are not going to connect them, either via Peering or Vnet-to-Vnet VPN Connection
When you say you are planning to implement an Azure Firewall, this generally means that you will be deploying this into one specific VNet.
Now, since only one VNet is in the picture, there should not be any issue.

Kindly let us know if this helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

Thanks,

Kapil

Hi Kapil,

Thank you for reply.

Understood Overlapping Azure VNets are not going to connect either via Peering or Vnet-to-Vnet VPN Connection.

We want to deploy one Azure firewall in multiple Vnets, Can we do that ?

Or we can only deploy one Azure firewall in one Vnet? please suggest. Thanks

No

An Azure Firewall can be deployed into a single VNet only.

If you want multiple VNets to leverage a single Firewall,

Then you should link these VNets via Peering to the VNet in which the Firewall is deployed.

This will become a Hub Spoke Architecture

This requires you to have VNets that do not have an overlapping address range.

Refer:

Hub-spoke network topology in Azure

Secure your hub virtual network using Azure Firewall Manager

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Kapil
