SEGMENTS UNABLE TO ACCESS INTERNET

Hi guys, I am very new to the NSX world. I have set up a home lab for nsx using nested vSphere. everything is good and dandy but I can't access the internet on the segments. I am able to ping the ISP router through my segment but can't access the internet. I have also checked that my Tunnels are up between edge VM's and my transport nodes. I've also checked that my BGP is working fine.

Looks like there is a potential DNS/Routing issue in your case. Can you confirm how you are peering Edges with the External router? Are we receiving any default routes?  What is the guest O/S DNS IP pointing to, is it internal DNS or Public DNS?

Thanks sreec for the reply. 

Actually, I was able to resolve it just today by redeploying my edge VM's with the same configurations. I was not able to figure out what was wrong but now it works fine. 

Reason is still unknown but if it works then it works..xD

Cheers.
