Common issues seen with Azure Virtual Network Manager

  • Article

In this article, we cover common issues you may face when using Azure Virtual Network Manager and provide some possible solutions.

Important

Azure Virtual Network Manager is generally available for Virtual Network Manager, hub-and-spoke connectivity configurations, and security configurations with security admin rules. Mesh connectivity configurations remain in public preview.

This preview version is provided without a service level agreement, and it's not recommended for production workloads. Certain features might not be supported or might have constrained capabilities. For more information, see Supplemental Terms of Use for Microsoft Azure Previews.

Why isn't my configuration getting applied?

Common reasons for configurations not being applied:

  • The configuration isn't deployed to the regions where virtual networks are located.

  • You haven't deployed the configuration yet. You need to deploy the configuration to have it take effect.

  • The configuration didn't have enough time to effect. The time it takes for the configuration to apply after you commit the configuration is around 15-20 minutes. When there's an update to your network group membership, it would take about 10 minutes for the changes to reflect.

I updated my configuration, but the changes aren't reflected in my environment.

You need to deploy the new configuration after the configuration is modified.

Why is my connectivity configuration not working?

You'll need to consider the following items:

  • In a hub-and-spoke topology, if you enable the option to use the hub as a gateway, you need to have a gateway in the hub virtual network. Otherwise, the creation of the virtual network peering between the hub and the spoke virtual networks fails.

  • If you want to have members in the network group to communicate with each other across regions in a hub and spoke topology configuration, you need to enable the global mesh option.
