54 VCF on VxRail Multirack Deployment using BGP EVPN
8.11 Verify BGP peering and route redistribution
The Tier-0 gateway must establish a connection to each of the upstream Layer 3 devices before BGP
updates can be exchanged. Verify that the NSX-T Edge nodes are successfully peering and that BGP routing
is established.
1. Open an SSH connection to sfo01wesg01.
2. Log in using the previously defined credentials.
3. Use the get logical-router command to get information about the Tier-0 and Tier-1 service
routes and distributed routers. Figure 27 shows the logical routers and the corresponding VRF values
for each.
The output of get logical-router
4. Using the vrf <VRF value> for SERVICE_ROUTER_TIER0, connect to the service router for Tier 0.
In this example, command vrf 3 is issued.
Note: The prompt changes to hostname(tier0_sr)>. All commands are associated with this object.
5. Use the get bgp neighbor command to verify the BGP connections to the neighbors of the
service router for Tier 0.
Use the get route bgp command to verify that you are receiving routes by using BGP and that multiple
routes to BGP-learned networks exist. Figure 28 shows the truncated output of get route bgp. The
networks that are shown are BGP routes (represented by the lowercase b) and are available using
172.16.47.1 (sfo01-leaf1a) and 172.16.48.1 (sfo01-leaf1b). This verifies successful BGP: Peering and ECMP
enablement for all external networks.

6. Repeat the procedure on sfo01wesg02.
