General Notes
Virtual Hubs
Key Commands
View NIC Route Tables:
Command: `az network nic show-effective-route-table`
Example from Webinar (Slide 18): Shows route table for a NIC.
Query: Can this functionality be replicated in OCI?
Route Propagation
Virtual hubs propagate routes and manage connectivity automatically.
Unlike AWS Transit Gateway, which requires manual static route configuration.
Query: How does OCI handle route propagation?
Labels (similar to MPLS Route Targets) can control propagation between route tables (Slide 20).
AS-Prepending is the only way to influence route preferences (similar to OCI).
