Exercise - create and configure Azure Firewall
You'll use the instructions below to create and configure Azure Firewall and Route Table.
Deploy Azure Firewall
Follow the instructions below to create a new Azure Firewall.
az network vnet subnet create -n AzureFirewallSubnet -g <resource-group-name> --vnet-name <vnet-name> --address-prefix 10.0.1.0/24
az network public-ip create -n <name-for-firewall-pip> -g <resource-group-name> --version IPv4 --sku Standard
az network firewall create -n <name-of-firewall> -g <resource-group-name> --location <your-preferred-azure-region>
az network firewall ip-config create --firewall-name <name-of-firewall> --name <firewall-config-name> --public-ip-address <name-of-firewall-pip> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --vnet-name <vnet-name>
az network firewall update --name <name-of-firewall> --resource-group <resource-group-name>
Create route & route table
Follow the steps below to create a new route table and route.
az network route-table create --name <firewall-route-table-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --location <your-preferred-azure-region> --disable-bgp-route-propagation true
The following route enables Azure Firewall to have direct internet connectivity:
az network route-table route create --resource-group <resource-group-name> --name <route-name> --route-table-name <firewall-route-table-name> --address-prefix 0.0.0.0/0 --next-hop-type Internet
Associate route table with the Azure Firewall's subnet
Use the command below to apply Route Table and Route on the subnet, which is used to deploy Azure Firewall:
az network vnet subnet update --name AzureFirewallSubnet --resource-group <resource-group-name> --vnet-name <vnet-name> --route-table <firewall-route-table-name>
After setting up Azure Firewall, you'll look at how to generate a default route, which enables internet connectivity through Azure Firewall, in next unit.
