You can check it on the Event log.

 

 

  • BGP: BGP notification and session events
I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

Hi ,

 

You can't really see the BGP neigbhors status from the dashboard. You can check the Event Logs "BGP session established" , " BGP session no longer established" , "BGP sent notification".  

 

You can also check the routing table to see if you have learned some eBGP routes.

Taking a packet capture to see the BGP keepalives can also be a way to confirm the status.

iBGP is between the spoke and the HUB and eBGP is between the HUB and probably your DC

Remember that the iBGP will be in an encrypted tunnel though...

Thank you
