AZ-700 Azure ExpressRoute 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which ExpressRoute peering type provides private connectivity to Azure PaaS services like Azure Storage and Azure SQL without traversing the public internet?
- Private peering
- Microsoft peering (Correct answer)
- Public peering
- Service peering
Correct answer: Microsoft peering
Microsoft peering connects to Azure PaaS and Microsoft 365 services over the ExpressRoute circuit via Microsoft's edge routers.
Question 2: What is the minimum bandwidth available when provisioning an ExpressRoute circuit?
- 50 Mbps (Correct answer)
- 100 Mbps
- 200 Mbps
- 1 Gbps
Correct answer: 50 Mbps
Azure ExpressRoute circuits start at 50 Mbps, scaling up to 100 Gbps depending on the provider and SKU.
Question 3: What feature of ExpressRoute Global Reach allows direct connectivity between on-premises sites?
- It enables two ExpressRoute circuits to connect through the Microsoft backbone (Correct answer)
- It extends a single circuit to multiple regions
- It enables VNet peering across ExpressRoute
- It connects ExpressRoute to Virtual WAN hubs
Correct answer: It enables two ExpressRoute circuits to connect through the Microsoft backbone
ExpressRoute Global Reach links two ExpressRoute circuits via the Microsoft global network, enabling direct on-premises-to-on-premises communication.
Question 4: Which ExpressRoute SKU is required to access all Azure regions globally from a single circuit?
- Local
- Standard
- Premium (Correct answer)
- Ultra
Correct answer: Premium
ExpressRoute Premium unlocks global connectivity, allowing a circuit in one region to reach VNets in all Azure geopolitical regions.
Question 5: What does ExpressRoute FastPath do?
- Increases circuit bandwidth beyond the provisioned tier
- Bypasses the ExpressRoute Gateway to send data plane traffic directly to VNet VMs (Correct answer)
- Accelerates BGP route convergence
- Enables sub-50ms SLA for ExpressRoute
Correct answer: Bypasses the ExpressRoute Gateway to send data plane traffic directly to VNet VMs
FastPath bypasses the ExpressRoute Virtual Network Gateway for data plane traffic, sending packets directly to VMs to reduce latency and increase throughput.
Question 6: Which type of ExpressRoute connectivity model uses a Layer 2 connection provided by a carrier to extend your network to Azure?
- CloudExchange co-location
- Point-to-point Ethernet connection (Correct answer)
- Any-to-any (IPVPN) network
- SD-WAN integration
Correct answer: Point-to-point Ethernet connection
Point-to-point Ethernet provides a dedicated Layer 2 or Layer 3 connection between your premises and an Azure peering location.
