-2. On Azure VMware Solution previous edition, request an ExpressRoute authorization key, and copy the authorization key and ExpressRoute ID.
-3. Ensure an ExpressRoute gateway is present or create one on the Azure VNET/peered Virtual Network where Azure VMware Solution in an Azure Virtual Network is deployed.
