[NSX-T Power CLI]

I am testing the PowerCLI capabilities for our NSX-T deployment and I'm finding some errors that I'm unable to sort out. Since I'm quite newbie with this, I'm sure someone here will be able to shed some light to my issue.

Basically, I'm trying to show the routing table of our Tier-0 logical router using Get-NsxtService cmd-let but I'm getting an invalid_request error with error code 299 "Required data source parameter source=realtime is missing". Both logical_router_id &  transport_node_id are correct.

After successfully connecting to our NSXT:

PS C:\Users\USER1> Get-NsxtService -Name com.vmware.nsx.logical_routers.routing.route_table

                                              Name Documentation

                                              ---- -------------

com.vmware.nsx.logical_routers.routing.route_table

PS C:\Users\USER1> $routingtable.help

                source):

The ArgumentLocations, FileLocations, and TransientIndication structures are intended as possible values for this field. DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this field (although that is not its primary purpose).

I tried to perform the same operation with Get-LogicalRouterRoutingTable cmdlet but I'm having issues too.

PS C:\Users\USER1>  Get-LogicalRouterRoutingRoutingTable -LogicalRouterId "742b99e2-00e1-4691-9c00-362146coco55" -TransportNodeId "356ec501-6b2a-4rr1-b16e-bd23549c91c8"

This is quite interesting. Even though source is listed as optional in com.vmware.nsx.logical_routers.routing.route_table class, when you supply command it is expecting you to provide realtime value for source as a input.

Try this command below:

$routingtable.list("742b99e2-00e1-4691-9c00-362146coco55","356ec501-6b2a-4rr1-b16e-bd23549c91c8","`t","None","1000",1,"None","realtime")

Let me know if it works. It worked for me in hands on lab.

You can combined the result by using .results and selecting fields that you require. This will give you a nice view. For Example:

$routingtable.list("742b99e2-00e1-4691-9c00-362146coco55","356ec501-6b2a-4rr1-b16e-bd23549c91c8","`t","None","1000",1,"None","realtime").results | select-object next_hop, network

Yes, it works! Seems the documentation is not as accurate as it should! I will take this in mind if I find similar issues with other commands. Thanks!
