Traffic from VM-App01 is taking an unexpected path to the internet through a network virtual appliance. You need to determine which routes are actually applied to the VM network interface. Which Azure feature should you use?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Best answer

Effective routes for the network interface

Effective routes display the route entries that are actively applied to the NIC.

B

Distractor review

NSG flow logs

NSG flow logs show allow or deny outcomes for traffic, not the route table applied to the NIC.

C

Distractor review

Azure Policy compliance

Policy compliance does not show active routing entries.

D

Distractor review

The subscription activity log

The activity log records control-plane changes and not the effective route list.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-104 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Effective routes for the network interface — The effective routes view on the VM network interface shows the current active routing entries, including system routes and user-defined routes. It is the correct tool for troubleshooting routing behavior.
