MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency, is implementing a security-first network architecture for their Azure infrastructure. As the newly hired security architect for MDFT Pro, you need to ensure all VPN traffic from remote training locations passes through their security appliance for inspection and compliance monitoring under direction from Mark, the IT Project Coordinator.
The company has deployed VNet1 with multiple subnets hosting their educational platforms and student management systems.
| Subnet Name | IP Address Range |
|---|---|
| Subnet0 | 10.0.0.0/24 |
| Subnet1 | 10.0.1.0/24 |
| Subnet2 | 10.0.2.0/24 |
| GatewaySubnet | 10.0.254.0/24 |
In Subnet1, they have deployed a virtual appliance named VM1 that operates as a security router, providing deep packet inspection and threat detection capabilities. You have created routing table RT1 with the address prefix 10.0.0.0/16 to capture all VNet1 traffic, and now need to configure the next hop type to ensure traffic is properly routed through VM1.
What next hop type should you specify in RT1 to route traffic through the virtual appliance VM1?
