8 Validation
In addition to sending traffic between hosts, the configuration shown in both topologies can be validated with
the commands shown in this section. The validation for the layer 2 topology will only reference sections 8.1.3
– 8.1.9 for OS10EE and sections 8.2.3 – 8.2.8 for OS9.
Note: For more information on commands and output, see the Command Line Reference Guide for the
applicable switch (links to documentation are provided in Appendix B.
Command and output examples are provided for one spine and one leaf. The OS9 section will only cover the
validation of a single leaf as the spine layer is running OS10EE. Command output on other switches is similar.
8.1 OS10EE Validation commands
This section will cover the validation of the S4048-ON leaf switches that are running OS10EE as well the
Z9100-ON spine switches.
Command and output examples are provided for one spine and one leaf. Command output on other switches
is similar.
8.1.1 show ip bgp summary
When BGP is configured, this command shows the status of all BGP connections. Each spine has four
neighbors (the four leafs) and each leaf has two neighbors (the two spines).

8.1.2 show ip route bgp
On switches with BGP configured, this command is used to verify the BGP entries in the Routing Information
Base (RIB). Entries with multiple paths shown are used with ECMP. The two server networks in this example,
10.60.1.0 and 172.16.1.0, each have two paths from Z9100-Spine1, one through each leaf.
The first set of routes with a subnet mask of /32 are the IPs configured for router IDs.
