You can configure Azure Web Application Gateway either through the Azure Portal or using Azure PowerShell. Here are the steps to configure it through both methods:
- Azure Portal:
Step 1: Sign in to the Azure Portal at https://portal.azure.com/.
Step 2: Click on “Create a resource” in the left-hand menu, then search for “Web Application Gateway” in the search box and select it from the results.
Step 3: Fill in the required information, such as the resource group, region, and deployment type.
Step 4: Configure the Gateway’s settings, such as the frontend IP address, listener, and backend pool.
Step 5: Configure the routing rules to determine how traffic should be forwarded to the backend pool.
Step 6: Save and deploy the configuration.
- Azure PowerShell:
Step 1: Open Azure PowerShell on your local machine.
Step 2: Connect to your Azure account using the following command:
powershell
Connect-AzAccount
Step 3: Select the subscription you want to work with using the following command:
powershell
Set-AzContext -SubscriptionId <SubscriptionID>
Step 4: Create a new resource group using the following command:
powershell
New-AzResourceGroup -Name <ResourceGroupName> -Location <Location>
Step 5: Create a new Web Application Gateway using the following command:
powershell
New-AzApplicationGateway -Name <GatewayName> -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -Location <Location> -Sku Standard_v2 -GatewayIPConfigurations <IPConfigurations> -FrontendIPConfigurations <FrontendIPConfigurations> -FrontendPorts <FrontendPorts> -BackendAddressPools <BackendPools> -BackendHttpSettingsCollection <BackendHttpSettings> -HttpListeners <HttpListeners> -RequestRoutingRules <RoutingRules>
Step 6: Configure the Gateway’s settings, such as the frontend IP address, listener, and backend pool using the appropriate PowerShell cmdlets.
Step 7: Configure the routing rules to determine how traffic should be forwarded to the backend pool using the appropriate PowerShell cmdlets.
Step 8: Save and deploy the configuration.
Here are some examples of the PowerShell cmdlets you can use:
To create a new resource group:
powershell
New-AzResourceGroup -Name "MyResourceGroup" -Location "East US"
To create a new Web Application Gateway:
powershell
$ipConfigurations = @{"Name" = "GatewayIP"; "Subnet" = @{ "Id" = "/subscriptions/<SubscriptionID>/resourceGroups/<ResourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/<VNetName>/subnets/<SubnetName>" }};
$frontendIPConfigurations = @{"Name" = "FrontendIP"; "PublicIPAddress" = @{ "Id" = "/subscriptions/<SubscriptionID>/resourceGroups/<ResourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/<PublicIPName>" }};
$frontendPorts = @{"Name" = "Port80"; "Port" = 80};
$backendAddressPools = @{"Name" = "BackendPool"; "BackendAddresses" = @{"IpAddress" = "10.0.0.4"}};
$backendHttpSettings = @{"Name" = "BackendSettings"; "Port" = 80; "Protocol" = "Http"; "CookieBasedAffinity" = "Enabled"};
$httpListeners = @{"Name" = "HttpListener"; "FrontendIPConfiguration" = $frontendIPConfigurations; "FrontendPort" = $frontendPorts; "Protocol" = "Http"; "
