Discuss VMware 2V0-15.25 Exam Topic 5 Question 9

Through the VMware NSX Manager user interface, the administrator has identified an issue with BGP peering. Which command on the NSX Edge Transport Node provides more information about the issue?

Aget edge-cluster status

Bget logical-routers

Cget edge-cluster history state

Dget log-file routing follow

Suggested Answer: D

When troubleshooting BGP peering issues on an NSX Edge Transport Node, VMware documentation directs administrators to examine routing logs, because BGP failures are often caused by adjacency negotiation errors, authentication mismatches, keepalive/hold timer issues, or route-policy failures.

The NSX Edge CLI command:

get log-file routing follow

streams real-time routing logs, including BGP daemon logs (bfdd, routed, wdog) and provides detailed insight into:

BGP session establishment and teardown

Keepalive and hold timer exchanges

Neighbor state transitions

Route advertisement or rejection

Authentication mismatches

MTU or connectivity issues on TEP / uplinks

This is the only command in the list that exposes diagnostic-level BGP information needed to troubleshoot peering.

Option A (edge-cluster status) shows cluster membership only. Option B (get logical-routers) shows logical router configuration, not BGP logs. Option C (edge-cluster history state) is unrelated to routing.

Definitely D! Logs are crucial for diagnosing BGP problems.

C sounds interesting, but I’d stick with D for clarity.

Wendell 2 months ago

I feel like A might give some context, but not specifics.

Nieves 2 months ago

Option B could also help, but logs are more direct.

Rebbecca 2 months ago

I agree, D seems most relevant for troubleshooting.

Harrison 2 months ago

I think option D is the best choice. Logs can show real-time issues.

Leigha 2 months ago

True, but D is more immediate for troubleshooting.

Kenny 3 months ago

C could help too, history state might reveal past problems.

Tennie 3 months ago

B is useful, but not as direct as D for BGP issues.

Lenna 3 months ago

But what about option B? It shows logical routers.

Lai 3 months ago

I agree, D gives detailed insights.

Viola 3 months ago

I think option D is the best choice. Logs can show real-time issues.

Adolph 4 months ago

I’m not sure about that, could it be C) get edge-cluster history state?

Cassi 4 months ago

A) get edge-cluster status gives a quick overview too.

Elke 4 months ago

Surprised that this isn't a trick question!

Gaynell 5 months ago

I disagree, B) get logical-routers seems more relevant.

Willodean 6 months ago

I think it's D) get log-file routing follow for more details.

Bernardo 6 months ago

I recall that checking the edge cluster status was important, so A) get edge-cluster status could also be a good option to consider.

Adaline 6 months ago

I feel like we used a similar question in our study group, and I think the answer was C) get edge-cluster history state, but I'm not completely confident.

Romana 6 months ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember practicing with BGP issues and I think B) get logical-routers might give us some insight too.

Lynelle 7 months ago

I think the command we need is related to logs, so maybe it's D) get log-file routing follow? That sounds familiar.
