+Preform Health Checks
+---------------------
+
+The first step in troubleshooting an Airship deployment is to identify unhealthy services by performing health checks.
+
+**Verify Peering is established**
+
+::
+
+    % sudo /opt/cni/bin/calicoctl node status
+
+    Calico process is running.
+    IPv4 BGP status
+    +--------------+-----------+-------+------------+-------------+
+    | PEER ADDRESS | PEER TYPE | STATE | SINCE | INFO |
+    +--------------+-----------+-------+------------+-------------+
+    | 172.29.0.2 | global | up | 2018-05-22 | Established |
+    | 172.29.0.3 | global | up | 2018-05-22 | Established |
+    +--------------+-----------+-------+------------+-------------+
+    IPv6 BGP status No IPv6 peers found.
+
+Verify that **STATE** is ``up`` and **INFO** is ``Established``. However, if **STATE** is ``start`` and **INFO** is
+``Connect``, peering has failed.
