Use the CLI to verify that the BGP routes are learned. You can also check from the external router that the NSX-T Data Center-connected VMs are reachable.
Procedure
- Log in to the NSX Manager CLI.
- View the routes learned from the external BGP neighbor.
nsx-edge1(tier0_sr)> get route bgp
Flags: c - connected, s - static, b - BGP, ns - nsx_static
nc - nsx_connected, rl - router_link, t0n: Tier0-NAT, t1n: Tier1-NAT
b 10.10.10.0/24 [20/0] via 192.168.100.254
- From the external router, check that BGP routes are learned and that the VMs are reachable through the NSX-T Data Center overlay.
- List the BGP routes.
user@router# run show ip route bgp
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, O - OSPF,
I - ISIS, B - BGP, > - selected route, * - FIB route
B>* 172.16.10.0/24 [20/0] via 192.168.100.2, eth2, 00:00:48
B>* 172.16.20.0/24 [20/0] via 192.168.100.2, eth2, 00:00:48
B>* 172.16.30.0/24 [20/0] via 192.168.100.2, eth2, 00:00:48
- From the external router, ping the NSX-T Data Center-connected VMs.
