Which two Network Watcher tools can help you diagnose whether a VM can reach another address and whether a specific flow is allowed or denied? Select two.

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

Connection troubleshoot

Correct because Connection troubleshoot checks reachability from a source VM to a destination and reports blocking issues.

B

Best answer

IP flow verify

Correct because IP flow verify shows whether a particular five-tuple flow is allowed or denied by NSGs.

C

Distractor review

Packet capture

False because packet capture records traffic for later inspection, but it does not directly answer allow or deny decisions.

D

Distractor review

Effective routes

False because effective routes shows routing paths, not whether a specific security flow is allowed or denied.

E

Distractor review

Network topology

False because that is not the specific Network Watcher tool used for end-to-end connectivity testing.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: ACLs stop at the first match

ACLs are processed top to bottom. The first matching entry wins, and an implicit deny usually exists at the end.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

ACL questions test precision: source, destination, protocol, port and direction. A generally correct ACL can still fail if it is applied on the wrong interface or in the wrong direction.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Standard ACLs match source addresses.
  • Extended ACLs can match source, destination, protocol and ports.
  • The first matching ACL entry is used.
  • There is usually an implicit deny at the end.

TExam Day Tips

  • Check inbound versus outbound direction.
  • Read the ACL from top to bottom.
  • Look for a broader permit or deny above the intended line.

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AZ-104 question test?

Standard ACLs match source addresses.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Connection troubleshoot — Connection troubleshoot helps confirm whether one VM can reach another endpoint and can surface the component causing the failure. IP flow verify is the right tool when you want to know whether a specific packet would be allowed or denied by NSG rules. Together, they are the most practical first checks for many basic Azure networking issues. Why others are wrong: Packet capture is useful after you already know traffic is reaching the VM and you want packet details. Effective routes helps with routing decisions, not security allow or deny results. Network topology is not the dedicated troubleshooting feature for this specific reachability workflow.
