  • Article

Original product version:   Virtual Network
Original KB number:   2996010

Summary

This article describes how to troubleshoot issues with Microsoft Azure virtual networks by using a troubleshooter package. This diagnostic package takes advantage of the capabilities of the Azure PowerShell module and Azure Virtual Network representational state transfer (REST) APIs to perform the following tasks:

  • Identify both the Azure virtual network (VNET) and the local network experiencing the VPN issue - List only Azure VNETs that have gateways, and we show only local network connections that are specific to the selected Azure VNET. If the customer selects a VNET that has no local network connection, or if the customer has no VNETS that have gateways, the diagnostic provides the customer with links to relevant documentation.
  • Network configuration XML parsing - Parses the network configuration XML and includes it in a report in order to make it easier to understand and summarize customers' configurations.
  • Azure Gateway Diagnostics - Similar to the tool we recently released for public download, the diagnostic package creates a three-minute Azure Gateway diagnostic file and asks the customer to turn on logging on the on-premises device and to reproduce the issue that he or she is experiencing.
  • On-premises device configuration file and logging file - Prompts the customer to provide us with the device configuration and log file (after we ask the customer to reproduce the VPN issue).
  • Virtual Network features configuration data collection :
    • Network Security Group (NSG)
    • Static IP (VNet and public)
    • Instance-level public IP (PIP)
    • ExpressRouteDNS (VNet, instance, and subnet level)
