# Set up VN Peering on Azure

This is a guide for setting up a Virtual Network (VN) peering connection between the TigerGraph Cloud Classic VN and another Azure VN.

## 1\. Prerequisite

* At least one unterminated TigerGraph Cloud Classic cluster on Azure

## 2\. Procedure

### 2.1\. Choose the Azure VN to initiate peering from

Log into the cloud portal and navigate to the Network tab on the left. Click **Initiate VPC peering**.

Choose Azure as your network platform. Then choose the region of the platform you want to initiate the peering connection from. Click **Next**.

### 2.2\. Add TigerGraph Cloud Classic to your Azure tenant

In the Peer VPC tab, fill in your [Azure tenant ID](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/fundamentals/active-directory-how-to-find-tenant), your VN name, your resource group ID, and your Subscription ID as well. Click **Next**.

Click on the link in the instructions to add TigerGraph Cloud Classic to your tenant. Doing so opens a new tab, and if authorization is successful, it will redirect you back to the cloud portal. You can now safely close this tab.

### 2.3\. Assign Network Contributor role to TigerGraph Cloud Classic VN Peerer

From the Azure portal, navigate to **Virtual Networks** and choose the network you are peering with. Then navigate to **Access Control** **Add** **Add role assignment**.

From the list of roles, choose Network Contributor. Click **Next**.

Click **Select Members** and search for TigerGraph VN Peerer. Select and click **Review + assign**. You'll see a notification if the role assignment is successful.

### 2.4\. Initiate peering

Go back to the Cloud Portal, and click **Initiate Peering**. If connection is successful, you'll see the connection listed under Azure with its status shown as "Connected".
