Use the CLI to verify that the static route is connected. You must also verify the external router can ping the internal VMs and the internal VMs can ping the external router.
Prerequisites
Verify that a static route is configured. See Configure a Static Route in Manager Mode.
Procedure
- Log in to the NSX Manager CLI.
- Confirm the static route.
- Get the service router UUID information.
get logical-routers
nsx-edge1> get logical-routers Logical Router UUID : 736a80e3-23f6-5a2d-81d6-bbefb2786666 vrf : 2 type : TUNNEL Logical Router UUID : d40bbfa4-3e3d-4178-8615-6f42ea335037 vrf : 4 type : SERVICE_ROUTER_TIER0 Logical Router UUID : d0289ba4-250e-41b4-8ffc-7cab4a46c3e4 vrf : 5 type : DISTRIBUTED_ROUTER Logical Router UUID : a6ee6316-2212-4171-99cc-930c98bcad7f vrf : 6 type : DISTRIBUTED_ROUTER
- Locate the UUID information from the output.
Logical Router UUID : d40bbfa4-3e3d-4178-8615-6f42ea335037 vrf : 4 type : SERVICE_ROUTER_TIER0
- Verify that the static route works.

- Get the service router UUID information.
- From the external router, ping the internal VMs to confirm that they are reachable through the NSX-T Data Center overlay.
- Connect to the external router.
