6 Ensure that the cluster nodes can communicate with the public and
private networks.
a On node 1, open a command prompt window.

ping <public_host_name>
ping <private_host_name>
where < public_host_name > and < private_host_name > are
the host names for the public and private network adapters in the
remaining node.
If the node’s network adapters do not respond to ping commands, check
your network configuration and then repeat this step.
NOTE: Virtual internet protocol (VIP) is configured later and cannot be pinged
at this point.

Repeat step a through step b on the remaining nodes.
