Microsoft.Network.routeTables.delete
Event Information
- The Microsoft.Network.routeTables.delete event in Azure for AzureNetwork indicates that a route table has been deleted within the specified Azure virtual network.
- This event signifies that any associated routes and routing rules within the route table have been removed.
- It is important to monitor this event to ensure that the deletion of the route table does not impact the network connectivity or routing within the Azure virtual network.
Examples
-
Unauthorized deletion: If security is impacted with Microsoft.Network.routeTables.delete in Azure for AzureNetwork, it could potentially lead to unauthorized deletion of route tables. This can result in disruption of network connectivity and potential security breaches if critical routes are removed without proper authorization.
-
Misconfiguration: Deleting route tables without proper planning and understanding of the network architecture can lead to misconfiguration. This can result in incorrect routing of network traffic, leading to potential security vulnerabilities or loss of connectivity to critical resources.
-
Data exposure: In some cases, route tables may contain sensitive information such as IP addresses or network topology details. If these route tables are deleted without proper precautions, it can lead to exposure of this sensitive information to unauthorized individuals or entities, potentially compromising the security of the network.
Remediation
Using Console
To remediate the issues mentioned in the previous response for Azure Network using the Azure console, you can follow these step-by-step instructions:
-
Enable Network Security Groups (NSGs):
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the desired Azure Network.
- Select the “Network security groups” option from the left-hand menu.
- Click on the “Add” button to create a new NSG or select an existing NSG.
- Configure the NSG rules to allow only necessary inbound and outbound traffic.
- Apply the NSG to the desired subnets or network interfaces.
-
Implement Azure DDoS Protection Standard:
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the desired Azure Network.
- Select the “Distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection” option from the left-hand menu.
- Click on the “Enable DDoS protection” button.
- Choose the “Standard” tier for enhanced protection.
- Configure the DDoS protection settings based on your requirements.
- Apply the DDoS protection to the desired resources within the network.
-
Enable Azure Firewall:
- Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the desired Azure Network.
- Select the “Azure Firewall” option from the left-hand menu.
- Click on the “Add” button to create a new Azure Firewall or select an existing one.
- Configure the firewall rules to allow or deny traffic based on your network security policies.
- Associate the Azure Firewall with the desired subnets or network interfaces.
- Monitor and manage the Azure Firewall to ensure effective network security.
Note: The above instructions provide a general guideline for remediating the mentioned issues in Azure Network using the Azure console. The specific steps may vary based on your Azure subscription, network configuration, and security requirements. It is recommended to refer to the official Azure documentation for detailed instructions and best practices.

az network watcher flow-log configure
- Description: This command enables flow logs for a specific NSG, allowing you to capture and analyze network traffic.
- Parameters: You need to provide the resource group name, NSG name, storage account ID, and storage account key.
- Command:
-
Example 2: Restrict Network Access using Network Security Groups (NSGs)
- Command:
az network nsg rule create
- Description: This command creates a new rule in an NSG to restrict network access based on specific criteria.
- Parameters: You need to provide the resource group name, NSG name, rule name, priority, source IP address range, destination IP address range, protocol, and action.
- Command:
-
Example 3: Enable Azure DDoS Protection Standard
- Command:
az network ddos-protection update
- Description: This command enables Azure DDoS Protection Standard for a specific virtual network.
- Parameters: You need to provide the resource group name and virtual network name.
- Command:
Please note that the actual CLI commands may vary depending on your specific requirements and configurations. Make sure to refer to the Azure CLI documentation for detailed usage and options.
Using Python
To remediate issues related to AzureNetwork using Python, you can use the Azure SDK for Python. Here are three examples of how you can remediate common issues:
-
Example 1: Enable Network Security Group (NSG) Flow Logs
- Use the
azure.mgmt.network
package to retrieve the NSG resource. - Enable flow logs for the NSG by setting the
enable_flow_logs
property toTrue
. - Update the NSG resource using the
network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update
method.
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient # Authenticate using default credentials credential = DefaultAzureCredential() network_client = NetworkManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) # Retrieve the NSG resource nsg = network_client.network_security_groups.get(resource_group_name, nsg_name) # Enable flow logs for the NSG nsg.enable_flow_logs = True # Update the NSG resource network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update(resource_group_name, nsg_name, nsg)
- Use the
-
Example 2: Add a Network Security Rule to an NSG
- Use the
azure.mgmt.network
package to retrieve the NSG resource. - Add a new security rule to the NSG by appending it to the
security_rules
list. - Update the NSG resource using the
network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update
method.
from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential from azure.mgmt.network import NetworkManagementClient from azure.mgmt.network.models import SecurityRule # Authenticate using default credentials credential = DefaultAzureCredential() network_client = NetworkManagementClient(credential, subscription_id) # Retrieve the NSG resource nsg = network_client.network_security_groups.get(resource_group_name, nsg_name) # Add a new security rule to the NSG new_rule = SecurityRule(name="Allow-SSH", protocol="Tcp", source_port_range="*", destination_port_range="22", access="Allow", direction="Inbound") nsg.security_rules.append(new_rule) # Update the NSG resource network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update(resource_group_name, nsg_name, nsg)
- Use the
-
Example 3: Update Network Security Group Rules
- Use the
azure.mgmt.network
package to retrieve the NSG resource. - Modify the existing security rules in the NSG by updating the desired properties.
- Update the NSG resource using the
network_client.network_security_groups.create_or_update
method.
