Apstra Edge Connectivity Check
Perform the following steps to resolve Edge connectivity issues.
Log into to the Apstra VM via SSH.
Test connectivity from within the Apstra Edge container itself, which is more definitive than testing from the host VM. The container must be able to reach these endpoints for the Edge service to function properly.
Test connectivity from the container to the Apstra Edge cloud termination service:
docker exec -it apstra_edge curl -I https://ep-term.ai.juniper.net
A successful response includes an HTTP status code (e.g., HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found). The status code itself does not matter — any HTTP response indicates the endpoint is reachable. If the command times out or returns a "Connection refused" error, the container cannot reach the endpoint and firewall rules are likely blocking the traffic.
Note: Testing from within the container (using docker exec) is more reliable than testing from the host VM because it tests connectivity from the perspective of the Apstra Edge service itself. Always test from the container when diagnosing Edge connectivity issues.
