From workstation, run the lab net-validate start command. The command runs a start script that determine if the host, servera, is reachable on the network.

[student@workstation ~]$ lab net-validate start

Use the ssh command to log in to servera as the student user. The systems are configured to use SSH keys for authentication and passwordless access to servera.
```
[student@workstation ~]$ ssh student@servera
...output omitted...
[student@servera ~]$ 
```
Important
Network interface names are determined by their bus type and the detection order of devices during boot. Your network interface names will vary according to the course platform and hardware in use.
On your system now, locate the interface name (such as ens06 or en1p2) associated with the Ethernet address 52:54:00:00:fa:0a. Use this interface name to replace the enX placeholder used throughout this exercise.
Locate the network interface name associated with the Ethernet address 52:54:00:00:fa:0a. Record or remember this name and use it to replace the enX placeholder in subsequent commands.
```
