You can also configure virtual hub routing using the [Azure PowerShell steps](how-to-virtual-hub-routing-powershell.md). A virtual hub can contain multiple gateways such as a site-to-site VPN gateway, ExpressRoute gateway, point-to-site gateway, and Azure Firewall. The routing capabilities in the virtual hub are provided by a router that manages all routing, including transit routing, between the gateways using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The virtual hub router also provides transit connectivity between virtual networks that connect to a virtual hub and can support up to an aggregate throughput of 50 Gbps. These routing capabilities apply to customers using **Standard** Virtual WANs. For more information, see [About virtual hub routing](about-virtual-hub-routing.md). ## Create a route table The following steps help you create a route table and a route. 1. In the Azure portal, go to the **virtual hub**. 1. On the **Virtual HUB** page, in the left pane, select **Route Tables** to open the Route Tables page. Notice the route tables that are propagated to this virtual hub. 1. Select **+ Create route table** to open the **Create Route Table** page. 1. On the **Basics** tab, complete the following fields, then click **Labels** to move to the Labels page. :::image type="content" source="./media/how-to-virtual-hub-routing/basics.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing the Create Route Table page Basics tab." lightbox="./media/how-to-virtual-hub-routing/basics.png"::: * **Name**: Name the route table instance. * **Route name**: Name the route. * **Destination type**: Select from the dropdown. * **Destination prefix**: You can aggregate prefixes. For example: VNet 1: 10.1.0.0/24 and VNet 2: 10.1.1.0/24 can be aggregated as 10.1.0.0/16. **Branch** routes apply to all connected VPN sites, ExpressRoute circuits, and User VPN connections. * **Next hop**: A list of virtual network connections, or Azure Firewall. * **Next Hop IP**: If you select a virtual network connection for Next hop, you'll see **Configure static routes** when you click **Configure**. This is an optional configuration setting. For more information, see [Configuring static routes](about-virtual-hub-routing.md#static). 1. On the **Labels** page, configure label names. Labels provide a mechanism to logically group route tables. Configure any required labels, then move to the Associations page. 1. On the **Associations** page, associate connections to the route table. You'll see **Branches**, **Virtual Networks**, and the **Current settings** of the connections. After configuring settings, move to the Propagations page. :::image type="content" source="./media/how-to-virtual-hub-routing/associations-settings.png" alt-text="Screenshot shows Associations page with connections to the route table." lightbox="./media/how-to-virtual-hub-routing/associations-settings.png"::: 1. On the **Propagations** page, select the settings to propagate routes from connections to the route table. :::image type="content" source="./media/how-to-virtual-hub-routing/propagations-settings.png" alt-text="Screenshots shows propagations settings." lightbox="./media/how-to-virtual-hub-routing/propagations-settings.png"::: 1. Select **Create** to create the route table. ## Edit a route table 1. Go to the virtual hub and, in the left pane, click **Route Tables**. On the **Route Tables** page, click the name of the route table you want to edit. 1. On the **Edit route table** page, on each tab, edit the values that you want to change. 1. On the **Propagations** page, click **Create** to update the route table with new route information. ## Edit a route 1. Go to the virtual hub and, in the left pane, click **Route Tables**. On the **Route Tables** page, click the name of the route table that contains the route you want to edit. 1. On the **Edit route table** page, locate the route from the list and make the applicable changes. Then, click **Review + create**. 1. On the **Propagations** page, make any additional changes (if necessary), then click **Create** to update the route table with new route information. 1. As long as no errors occur, the route is updated. ## Delete a route 1. Go to the virtual hub and, in the left pane, click **Route Tables**. On the **Route Tables** page, click the name of the route table that contains the route you want to edit. 1. On the **Edit route table** page, locate the route from the list. Use the scroll bar to navigate to the right. You'll see an ellipsis (three dots) at the end of the line for the route. Click the ellipsis to reveal the **Remove** button. Click **Remove**. 1. At the bottom of the page, click **Review + Create**, and then **Create**. 1. As long as no errors occur, the route is removed. ## Delete a route table You can't delete a **Default** or **None** route table. However, you can delete all custom route tables. 1. Go to the virtual hub and, in the left pane, click **Route Tables**. On the **Route Tables** page, select the checkbox for the route table that you want to delete (don't click the name). 1. On the right side of the line that the route table is on, you'll see an ellipsis (three dots). Click the ellipsis, then select **Delete** from the dropdown list. 1. On the **Delete** page, confirm that you want to delete the route table, then click **Delete**. 1. As long as no errors occur, the route table is deleted. ## View effective routes 1. In the Azure portal, go to your **Virtual HUB -> Effective Routes** page. 1. From the dropdowns, select the route table to view routes learned by the selected route table. Propagated routes from the connection to the route table are automatically populated in **Effective Routes** of the route table. For more information, see [About effective routes](effective-routes-virtual-hub.md). 1. To download this information to a csv file, click **Download** at the top of the page. :::image type="content" source="./media/how-to-virtual-hub-routing/effective-routes.png" alt-text="Screenshot of Effective Routes page." lightbox="./media/how-to-virtual-hub-routing/effective-routes.png"::: ## Configure routing for a virtual network connection [!INCLUDE [Connect](../../includes/virtual-wan-connect-vnet-hub-include.md)] ## Next steps * For more information about virtual hub routing, see [About virtual hub routing](about-virtual-hub-routing.md). * For more information about Virtual WAN, see the [Virtual WAN FAQ](virtual-wan-faq.md).
