## Validating Connectivity

Cilium includes a connectivity check YAML that can be deployed into a test namespace in order to validate proper installation and connectivity within a Kubernetes cluster. If the connectivity check passes, all pods created by the YAML manifest will reach “Running” and ready (1/1) state. We recommend running this test only once you have multiple worker nodes in your environment to ensure you are validating cross-node connectivity.
Install the latest version of [Cilium CLI](https://docs.cilium.io/en/stable/gettingstarted/k8s-install-default/#install-the-cilium-cli).
The Cilium CLI has connectivity test functionality to validate proper installation and connectivity within a Kubernetes cluster.

It is important that this test is run in a dedicated namespace, with no existing network policy. For example:
By default, Cilium CLI will run tests in the `cilium-test-1` namespace which can be changed by using `--test-namespace` flag. For example:

```bash
kubectl create ns cilium-test
cilium connectivity test
```

```bash
kubectl apply -n cilium-test -f https://docs.isovalent.com/v1.10/public/connectivity-check-eksa.yaml
```

Once all pods have started, simply checking the status of pods in this namespace will indicate whether the tests have passed:

```bash
kubectl get pods -n cilium-test
```

Successful test output will show all pods in a "Running" and ready (1/1) state:
Successful test output will show all tests in a "successful" (some tests might be in "skipped") state. For example:

```

Afterward, simply delete the namespace to clean-up the connectivity test:

```bash
kubectl delete ns cilium-test
kubectl delete ns cilium-test-1
```
