Exam AZ-104 topic 1 question 31 discussion

Correct Answer E: Run the Set-AzureStaticVNetIP PowerShell cmdlet.

Set-AzureStaticVNetIP is for Classic VMs and will be retired on September 1, 2023. For new VM it can be don in the portal or using Powershell: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/reset-network-interface #Add/Change static IP. This process will change MAC address $vnet = Get-AzVirtualNetwork -Name $VNET -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup $subnet = Get-AzVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig -Name $subnet -VirtualNetwork $vnet $nic = Get-AzNetworkInterface -Name $NetInter -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup #Remove the PublicIpAddress parameter if the VM does not have a public IP. $nic | Set-AzNetworkInterfaceIpConfig -Name ipconfig1 -PrivateIpAddress $PrivateIP -Subnet $subnet -PublicIpAddress $publicIP -Primary $nic | Set-AzNetworkInterface

El cmdlet Set-AzureStaticVNetIP se usaba en el antiguo modelo Azure Service Manager (ASM), que ya no se recomienda usar, ya que Azure ahora utiliza Azure Resource Manager (ARM). Por lo tanto, modificar la IP desde el portal es la mejor opción en el contexto actual. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/servicemanagement/azure/set-azurestaticvnetip?view=azuresmps-4.0.0

Correct Answer E

Specify a static internal IP for a previously created VM If you want to set a static IP address for a VM that you previously created, you can do so by using the following cmdlets. If you already set an IP address for the VM and you want to change it to a different IP address, you'll need to remove the existing static IP address before running these cmdlets. See the instructions below to remove a static IP. For this procedure, you'll use the Update-AzureVM cmdlet. The Update-AzureVM cmdlet restarts the VM as part of the update process. The DIP that you specify will be assigned after the VM restarts. In this example, we set the IP address for VM2, which is located in cloud service StaticDemo. Get-AzureVM -ServiceName StaticDemo -Name VM2 | Set-AzureStaticVNetIP -IPAddress 192.168.4.7 | Update-AzureVM

If this question is still on the test, the answer today would be C. You can log in to the portal, select the VM, then Networking followed by Network Settings. There is a box named 'Network Interface / IP Configuration' with a link. If you click on the link, you can change the associated IP to static. The PowerShell command 'Set-AzureStaticVNetIP' is still available in PowerShell: PS C:> Find-Command -Name Set-AzureStaticVNetIP Name Version ModuleName Repository ---- ------- ---------- ---------- Set-AzureStaticVNetIP 5.3.1 Azure PSGallery However, when I tried to use the cmdlet after verifying it's available, the result was: 'Set-AzureStaticVNetIP : The term 'Set-AzureStaticVNetIP' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.' That's just what I see today.

E is corerct

Correct answer C.

Argue: ?! In the ARM model, setting a static IP address is typically done through the Azure Portal or by using ARM-specific PowerShell cmdlets like New-AzNetworkInterface or by specifying the static IP during VM creation via the New-AzVM cmdlet. The Set-AzureStaticVNetIP is not applicable in ARM, which is now the default and recommended deployment model in Azure.

Based on the scenario provided, the correct option to configure the two Azure VMs with static internal IP addresses is: E. Run the Set-AzureStaticVNetIP PowerShell cmdlet. Explanation: The Set-AzureStaticVNetIP PowerShell cmdlet is used to set a static internal IP address for an Azure VM within a virtual network. This cmdlet allows you to specify the desired IP address that you want to assign to the VM within the Azure virtual network. By running this cmdlet, you can ensure that the VMs have static internal IP addresses as required for the application migration.

the correct way to set a static internal IP address for Azure VMs is either by modifying the VM properties in the Azure Management Portal (Option C) or using the appropriate ARM-based PowerShell cmdlets (Set-AzNetworkInterfaceIpConfig), but not Set-AzureStaticVNetIP, which is deprecated for ARM deployments.

C. Modify the VM properties in the Azure Management Portal. This is the best option because it allows you to configure static internal IP addresses for the VMs directly through the Azure Management Portal, providing a user-friendly interface and ensuring the changes are correctly applied within the Azure environment. This method is effective and integrates seamlessly with other Azure services and configurations.

C. Modify the VM properties in the Azure Management Portal. This approach allows you to securely set and manage static IP configurations within the Azure infrastructure, ensuring that the settings are maintained across reboots and do not conflict with Azure’s network management.

C is right answer

E

I think C can be a correct answer too. I have tried this multiple times already on our AzVMs.

Tbh, This Commandlet Set-AzureStaticVNetIP does not adheres to Az Powershell module name. It should start with Set-AzStaticVNetIP. Idk why they include such kinds of questions.
