# Verifying Connectivity between Lustre and the Wiretap Server

Verify that you have proper connectivity over the network.

To verify connectivity (Windows):

1. On your Lustre workstation, click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. In the Run dialog box, type:

   cmd

   A command console is displayed.

3. In the command console, type:

   ping <IP address of Wiretap host or Wiretap host workstation name>

   Example system response
   ping computer

   A system response with ping times similar to the example, above, indicates that your Lustre workstation can see the remote Wiretap host workstation.

To verify connectivity (Linux):

1. On your Lustre workstation, open a shell and type:

   ping <IP address of Wiretap host or Wiretap host workstation name>
