- A
Enable gateway transit on the hub peering and use remote gateways on the spoke peering.
To let a spoke VNet use the hub's gateway, the hub side must allow gateway transit and the spoke side must be configured to use the remote gateway. This combination lets the spoke send traffic to on-premises networks through the existing hub VPN gateway, avoiding duplicate gateway deployment. It is the standard design for hub-and-spoke environments that centralize connectivity and reduce cost and operational overhead.
- B
Enable forwarded traffic on both peerings and leave gateway settings disabled.
Why wrong: Forwarded traffic helps traffic pass through an appliance, but it does not let a spoke use another VNet's gateway.
- C
Enable use remote gateways on the hub peering and gateway transit on the spoke peering.
Why wrong: Those settings are reversed; the hub must provide transit and the spoke must consume it.
- D
Create a private endpoint between the two VNets.
Why wrong: Private endpoints expose supported PaaS services privately and do not share a VPN gateway between VNets.
AZ-104 Implement and Manage Storage Practice Question
This AZ-104 practice question tests your understanding of implement and manage storage. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A hub VNet already has a VPN gateway connected to on-premises networks. A new spoke VNet must reach those on-premises networks through the existing gateway without deploying another gateway. Which peering settings are required?
Answer choices
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
Enable gateway transit on the hub peering and use remote gateways on the spoke peering.
Option A is correct because to allow a spoke VNet to use the hub VNet's VPN gateway without deploying its own, you must enable 'Use remote gateways' on the spoke peering and 'Gateway transit' on the hub peering. This configuration allows the spoke to route traffic destined for on-premises networks through the hub's VPN gateway, leveraging the existing site-to-site VPN connection.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse which peering (hub or spoke) gets which setting, incorrectly assuming 'Use remote gateways' goes on the hub and 'Gateway transit' on the spoke, or they think 'Forwarded traffic' is sufficient for gateway routing.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Under the hood, enabling 'Gateway transit' on the hub peering propagates the hub's route tables (including the VPN gateway's default route) to the spoke VNet via BGP or static routes. The spoke's 'Use remote gateways' setting then installs those routes in the spoke's effective routes, allowing traffic from the spoke to reach on-premises destinations through the hub's VPN tunnel. This works only if the hub VNet has a VPN gateway and the spoke VNet does not have its own gateway; otherwise, the setting is ignored.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A healthcare organisation deploys an application with a public-facing web tier and a private database tier. The database subnet has no public IP and only accepts connections from the web tier's security group. Questions like this test whether you can design cloud network isolation using VNets/VPCs, subnets, and security group rules.
