Validating the configuration

Validating the configuration

You can run the get router info bgp neighbors <neighbor_IP> received-routes and get router info bgp neighbors <neighbor_IP> advertised-routes commands on the side office and spoke FortiGates to validate the configuration.

The following shows the desired output for the side office FortiGate:

The following shows the desired output for the spoke FortiGate:

To check the connected and BGP routes on the FortiGate, you can run the get router info routing-table all and get router info routing-table database commands. See Technical Tip: FortiGate BGP configuration to announce specific routes and accept only a default route (prefix list and route map).

Verifying site-to-site connectivity

You can verify site-to-site connectivity by pinging an application in remote site 2 from an application in remote site 2, and vice-versa. The following shows the desired output from a site 1 application instance:

The following shows the desired output from a site 2 application instance:

The following lists Google Cloud commands for deployment verification:
