CV0-004 Practice Question: An Azure administrator runs the command and gets…
Network Topology
An Azure administrator runs the command and gets the output shown. The virtual machine 'web-01' is not accessible over the network. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason?
⚠ Common exam trap
Distinguish between 'Stopped' (VM retains resources and private IP) and 'Stopped (deallocated)' (VM releases all resources and IP). Candidates may assume any stopped VM is still reachable, but only a VM in 'Running' state accepts network traffic.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The VM is stopped and deallocated.
The command output shows the VM 'web-01' with a 'PowerState' of 'Stopped (deallocated)'. When a VM is deallocated, it releases its assigned public IP and underlying compute resources, making it unreachable over the network. The VM must be in a 'Running' state to accept network traffic.
