How do I identify the IP address of a Load Balancer in a particular NSX Edge?

[vmmed1]

I am not seeing where the IP address of the load balancer is found. I would expect to see it in NSX Edged/{NSX Edge}/Configuration is where I'd expect to see something. But nope.

Help please.

In the API you'd get them from /api/4.0/edges/{edge-id}/loadbalancer/config/virtualservers

You can configure or see the VIP`s under Manage - Load Balancer - Virtual Servers on the Edge. When you have i.e. One-armed load balancing you need to configure a vNIC for the internal connection and one vNIC with the VIP`s which have a /32 address.

I should have been more clear. My goal is to be able to SSH to the load balancer itself. How do I determine the address to connect to the load balancer so I can troubleshoot at its CLI?

Thus you can do I the usual ssh to the Edge LB (see IP of the interface configuration), in the example below ssh to 172.16.100.1

From there you can do the load balancing troubleshooting commands like

nsxedge> show configuration loadbalancer

nsxedge> show configuration loadbalancer virtual [virtual-server-name]

nsxedge> show configuration loadbalancer pool [pool-name]

nsxedge> show configuration loadbalancer monitor [monitor-name]

nsxedge> show configuration loadbalancer profile [profile-name]

nsxedge> show configuration loadbalancer rule [rule-name]

I corroborate the answer in the NSX I've inherited. Thank you very much.

Next it looks like I need to Enable SSH via the Change Password found with right clicking the specific NSX Edge.
