Troubleshooting the BGP configuration

If necessary, you can troubleshoot the configuration on the command line of the NGFW Engine and in the Management Client.

Troubleshooting on the command line of the NGFW Engine

Connect to the NGFW Engine using SSH, enter vtysh, then use the following commands:

show ip bgp
show ip bgp neighbors
show ip bgp summary
show ip bgp ? (list all possible command options)

Troubleshooting in the Management Client

In the Management Client, you can do the following:

  • To view log entries in the Logs view, select Logs.
  • To check the configuration in Quagga format, right-click an NGFW Engine, then select Configuration > Dynamic Routing > Quagga Preview.
  • To restart the dynamic routing process, right-click an NGFW Engine, then select Configuration > Dynamic Routing > Restart.
  • Connect to the NGFW Engine using SSH, then ping a tunnel interface of the BGP peer gateway.
  • Use tcpdump on the tunnel interfaces to verify that traffic is passing through.
