Use a [virtual machine](/azure/virtual-machines/windows/quick-create-portal#create-virtual-machine) within the Azure Virtual Network where the Azure VMware Solution ExpressRoute terminates. For more information, see [Connect to Azure Virtual Network with ExpressRoute](#connect-to-azure-virtual-network-with-expressroute). 1. Sign in to the Azure [portal](https://portal.azure.com). 1. Navigate to a running VM, and under **Settings**, select **Networking** and the network interface resource. :::image type="content" source="../virtual-network/media/diagnose-network-routing-problem/view-nics.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing virtual network interface settings in Azure portal."::: 1. On the left, select **Effective routes**. A list of address prefixes that are contained within the `/22` CIDR block you entered during the deployment phase displays. 1. To sign in to both vCenter Server and NSX Manager, open a web browser and sign in to the same virtual machine used for network route validation. Find the vCenter Server and NSX Manager console's IP addresses and credentials in the Azure portal.
