Use CLI to verify that the ECMP routing connection to neighbor is established.
Procedure
- Log in to the NSX Manager CLI.
- Get the distributed router UUID information.
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 : d0289ba4-250e-41b4-8ffc-7cab4a46c3e4
vrf : 5
type : DISTRIBUTED_ROUTER
- Type the VRF for the tier-0 distributed router.
vrf 5
- Verify that the tier-0 distributed router is connected to the Edge nodes.
get forwarding
For example, edge-node-1 and edge-node-2.
- Enter exit to leave the vrf context.
- Verify that the tier-0 distributed router is connected.
get logical-router <UUID> route
The route type for the UUID should appear as
NSX_CONNECTED.
- Start a SSH session on the two Edge nodes.
- Start a session to capture packets.
set capture session 0 interface fp-eth1 dir tx
set capture session 0 expression src net <IP_Address>
- Use any tool that can generate traffic from a source VM connected to the tier-0 router to a destination VM.
- Observe the traffic on the two Edge nodes.
