Set a default internet route or turn off internet access
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:
- Sign in to the Azure portal.
- Search for Azure VMware Solution, and then select it in the search results.
- Find and select your Azure VMware Solution private cloud.
- On the resource menu under Workload networking, select Internet connectivity.
- 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.
