Your company has a lot of redundant services (DNS, AD, intrusion detection, etc.) in their environment. To alleviate the management effort in maintaining those services, your IT department is centralizing all redundant services into a hub. You will implement a hub-spoke topology, creating a hub VNet and a spoke VNet connection in Azure.
Learning Objectives

- Configure the Virtual Network Gateway
- In the Azure portal, click All resources.
- Select the
VPN00-HUBgateway and click Configuration. - Verify that the SKU is VpnGw2 for 1 Gbps throughput.

- On the Add connection page, set the following values:
- Name: hub-to-spoke-connection
- Connection type: VNet-to-VNet
- Second virtual network gateway: VPN41-SPOKE
- Shared key (PSK): Shared key from the lab homepage
- Leave the rest as their defaults and click OK.
Once the Status field displays Connected for both connections, we’ve successfully finished creating our hub-spoke network topology.
Note: Connection status may not update until you leave the page. To update the status, click Home > All resources > VPN00HUB > Connections. You may need to repeat this multiple times.
