# Verify Connected Cache node functionality
This article describes how to verify that a Microsoft Connected Cache for Enterprise and Education cache node is functioning correctly.
These steps should be taken after deploying Connected Cache software to a [Windows](mcc-ent-deploy-to-windows.md) or [Linux](mcc-ent-deploy-to-linux.md) host machine.
## Steps to verify functionality of Connected Cache node
1. To verify that the Connected Cache container on the host machine is running and reachable, run the following command from the host machine:
```powershell
wget http://localhost/filestreamingservice/files/7bc846e0-af9c-49be-a03d-bb04428c9bb5/Microsoft.png?cacheHostOrigin=dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com
```
If successful, there should be an HTTP response with StatusCode 200.
1. To verify that Windows clients in your network can reach the Connected Cache node, visit the following address from a web browser on a Windows client device:
`http://[HostMachine-IP-address]/filestreamingservice/files/7bc846e0-af9c-49be-a03d-bb04428c9bb5/Microsoft.png?cacheHostOrigin=dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com`
If successful, the Windows client device should begin to download a small image file from the Connected Cache node.
1. To check how much content an individual Windows client has downloaded from a Connected Cache node, open the [Delivery Optimization activity monitor](/microsoft-365-apps/updates/delivery-optimization#viewing-data-about-the-use-of-delivery-optimization) on the Windows client device.
You should see a donut chart titled **Download Statistics**. If the Windows client has downloaded content from the cache node, you'll see a segment of the donut labeled **From Microsoft cache server**.
