To deploy the VNET-SUBNET-NSG template using Azure CLI commands, perform the following steps:

1. Download VNET-SUBNET-NSG template.

   NOTE:

   This template contains pre-populated default values that can be modified as required and it does not create new virtual network, network security group, subnets, and Public IP.

2. From Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where you have downloaded the ARM template.
3. Open the ARM_TMPL_VNET_SUBNET_NSG_PARAM.json with a text editor.
   

4. Configure the following parameters depending upon your requirements:

   Table 19 : JSON Parameters

   Resource Name	Description
   Virtual Network	Specify the virtual network name for virtual machines. "Virtual Network": { "value": "vth-vnet" },
   Virtual Network CIDR	Specify the CIDR range for the virtual network. "Virtual Network CIDR": { "value": [ "10.0.0.0/16" ] },
   Subnets	Specify the subnet name for inbound management traffic, inbound data traffic, and outbound data traffic. "SubnetManagement": { "value": "subnet-mgmt" }, "SubnetDataIn": { "value": "subnet-data-in" }, "SubnetDataOut": { "value": "subnet-data-out"
   Subnets CIDR	Specify the CIDR range for management, datain, and datout subnets. "Subnet Mgmt CIDR": { "value": "10.0.1.0/24" }, "Subnet DataIn CIDR": { "value": "10.0.2.0/24" }, "Subnet DataOut CIDR": { "value": "10.0.3.0/24" },
   Network Security Groups	Specify the network security group name for all the NICs. "Network Security Group VM1": { "value": "vth-inst1-nsg" }, "Network Security Group VM2": { "value": "vth-inst2-nsg" }

   NOTE:

   The Virtual Network (VNet), Subnets, Network Security Group (NSG), and Public IP Address should be deployed in the same resource group.

5. Verify if all the configurations in the ARM_TMPL_VNET_SUBNET_NSG_PARAM.json file are correct and then save the changes.
   
6. From the Start menu, open PowerShell and navigate to the folder where you have downloaded the ARM template.

7. Run the following command to create an Azure resource group:

   PS C:\Users\TestUser\Templates> az group create --name <resource_group_name> --location "<location_name>"

   Example:

   PS C:\Users\TestUser\Templates> az group create --name vth-rg1 --location "south central us"

    {
       "id": "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/vth-rg1",
       "location": "southcentralus",
       "managedBy": null,
       "name": "vth-rg1",
       "properties": {
         "provisioningState": "Succeeded"
       },
       "tags": null,
       "type": "Microsoft.Resources/resourceGroups"
     }

8. Run the following command to create an Azure deployment group.

   PS C:\Users\TestUser\Templates> az deployment group create -g <resource_group_name> --template-file <template_name> --parameters <param_template_name>

   Example:

   PS C:\Users\TestUser\Templates> az deployment group create -g vth-rg1 --template-file ARM_TMPL_VNET_SUBNET_NSG.json--parameters ARM_TMPL_VNET_SUBNET_NSG_PARAM.json

   Here, vth-rg1 resource group is used.

9. Verify if the VNET and NSG resources are created deploy Home > Azure services > Resource Groups > <resource_group_name>.

   Figure 227 : Resource listing under Resource Group

   

10. Verify if the Subnet resources are created under Home > Azure services > Resource Groups > <resource_group_name> > <virtual_network_name>.
