The Tier-0 gateway must establish a connection to each of the upstream Layer 3 devices in its availability zone before BGP updates can be exchanged. Verify that the NSX-T Edge nodes are successfully peering and that BGP routing is established in VMware Cloud Foundation.

- By using the VRF value for SERVICE_ROUTER_TIER0 connect to the service router for Tier 0.
The prompt changes to
sfo01wesg01(tier0_sr)>
. All commands are associated with this object.
- Verify the BGP connections to the neighbors of the service router for Tier 0.
The
BGP State for each neighbor in the edge node availability zone, and each edge node, appears as
Established.
- Verify that you are receiving routes by using BGP and that multiple routes to BGP-learned networks exist.
The routing table contains routes beginning with
b, learned via BGP.
- Repeat this procedure for the other NSX-T Edge nodes.
