This article helps you connect your virtual network to your virtual hub using the Azure portal. You can also use PowerShell to complete this task. Repeat these steps for each VNet that you want to connect.
Before you create a connection, be aware of the following:
- A virtual network can only be connected to one virtual hub at a time.
- In order to connect it to a virtual hub, the remote virtual network can't have a gateway (ExpressRoute or VPN) or RouteServer.
- To create a cross-tenant virtual network connection to the virtual hub, refer to Connect cross-tenant virtual networks to a Virtual WAN hub
Important
- If VPN gateways are present in the virtual hub, this operation as well as any other write operation on the connected VNet can cause disconnection to Point-to-site clients as well as reconnection of site-to-site tunnels and BGP sessions.

Note
- To delete a virtual network connected to the virtual hub, you must delete both the virtual network connection and virtual network resource.
