Set a default internet route or turn off internet access

  • Article

In this article, learn how to set a default internet route or turn off internet access in your Azure VMware Solution private cloud.

You have multiple options to set up a default internet access route. You can use a virtual WAN hub or a network virtual appliance (NVA) in a virtual network, or you can use a default route from an on-premises environment. If you don't set a default route, your Azure VMware Solution private cloud has no internet access.

With a default route set, you can achieve the following tasks:

  • Turn off internet access to your Azure VMware Solution private cloud.

    Note

    Ensure that a default route is not advertised from on-premises or from Azure. An advertised default route overrides this setup.

  • Turn on internet access by generating a default route from Azure Firewall or from a third-party NVA.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure VMware Solution private cloud.
  • If internet access is required, a default route must be advertised from an instance of Azure Firewall, an NVA, or a virtual WAN hub.

Set a default internet access route

To set a default internet access route or to turn off internet access, use the Azure portal:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.
  2. Search for Azure VMware Solution, and then select it in the search results.
  3. Find and select your Azure VMware Solution private cloud.
  4. On the resource menu under Workload networking, select Internet connectivity.
  5. Select the Connect using default route from Azure option or the Don't connect using default route from Azure option, and then select Save.

If you don't have a default route from on-premises or from Azure, by completing the preceding steps, you turned off internet connectivity to your Azure VMware Solution private cloud.
