  • 1.  Configure static route

    Posted Jan 03, 2023 01:42 PM

    Dear Team,

    As per below topology, I would like to configure static route so that Web VM Should reach external VM (vice versa).

    MrVmware9423_0-1672753258598.png

    Uplink Interface IP: 192.168.70.2 => Upstream Router Ip: IP: 192.168.70.1

    Uplink Interface IP: 192.168.80.2 => Upstream Router Ip: IP: 192.168.80.1

     

    How to configure the static route so that i can establish connectivity between them. I don't want to enable BGP/OSPF routing to achieve this.

     

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

    Follow the below link to configure the static route on T0.

    https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-T-Data-Center/3.2/administration/GUID-BC6A4474-C93C-4FE7-A834-9E6D516909F9.html

    Since you have two paths available, you have to configure the static route for both paths.

    Ex.

    0.0.0.0/0 -> 192.168.70.1

    0.0.0.0/0 -> 192.168.80.1

    Also, you have to configure a static routes on the Upstream Router as well for the Web VM Network/Subnet.

    ip route 172.20.50.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.70.2

    ip route 172.20.50.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.80.2

    Regards

    Static route on upstream router:

    Static route created on T0:

    Able to ping the T0 IP from Upstream router:

    Also able to ping upstream route from T0 but still not able to ping external servers from VM (vice versa), Please asisst how to resolve the same.
