MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency, is finalizing the configuration of their secure network routing for VPN connectivity. As the newly hired network operations manager for MDFT Pro, you have successfully created routing table RT1 with the address prefix 10.0.0.0/16 and configured it to use “Virtual appliance” as the next hop type to route traffic through their security appliance VM1 under direction from Mark, the Systems Integration Manager.
Now you need to determine which subnet should be associated with RT1 to ensure all inbound VPN traffic from remote training centers is properly routed through VM1 for security inspection.
| Subnet Name | IP Address Range | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Subnet0 | 10.0.0.0/24 | Student Portal Servers |
| Subnet1 | 10.0.1.0/24 | Security Appliance (VM1) |
| Subnet2 | 10.0.2.0/24 | Training Management Systems |
| GatewaySubnet | 10.0.254.0/24 | VPN Gateway |
The company needs to ensure that all VPN traffic entering the virtual network is immediately directed through VM1 for inspection before reaching any of the application subnets containing their educational platforms and student data.
To which subnet should you assign route table RT1 to achieve the required traffic flow?
