Step 2

In this demo, we need two Virtual Networks. The information about the configuration of both is given below. 

  • Name - BattiVNet1
    • IP Address Space – 10.10.0.0/16
    • Subnet Range – 10.10.0.0/24
  • Name - ColomboVNet1
    • IP Address Space – 192.168.1.0/24
    • Subnet Range – 192.168.1.0/24

Enter the Name, Address space, Resource group, and Subnet. Then, click “Create”.

Follow the same process to create the ColomboVNet1 Virtual Network.
