Reviewing MVE Connection Settings in VMware SD-WAN
You can review your MVE connection settings through the VMware console and the CLI.
In Orchestrator, under Test & Troubleshoot > Remote Diagnostics, select the MVE and click Run for Troubleshoot BGP - Show BGP Summary to verify the BGP session and ensure the remote router is up.
You can also check connectivity and BGP status from the CLI of the edge device.
-
SSH to your MVE using the SSH keypair you provided during MVE creation.
ssh -i megaport-mve-instance-1-2048 root@162.43.144.9 -
Check the interface configuration.
edge:megaport-demo-1:~# ip addr list | grep eth2.1000 22: eth2.1000@eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000 inet 169.254.11.18/30 brd 169.254.11.19 scope global eth2.1000Note
Interface numbering on the CLI differs from the Orchestrator console. In the CLI, interface numbering begins at 0 so the corresponding CLI interface for GE3 is
eth2. The number followingeth2is the subinterface ID (the A-End VLAN ID). -
Ping the remote end.

Check the BGP status.
