# wire-test(8)

test your network interfaces and local IP address

## NAME

wire-test - test your network interfaces and local IP address

## SYNOPSIS

**wire-test** \[ *host* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**wire-test** is used to find out what amd thinks are the first two network interfaces and network names/numbers used, as well as the IP address used for amd to NFS-mount itself.

If *host* is specified, then **wire-test** will test for the working combinations of NFS protocol and version from the current client to the NFS server *host.* If not specified, *host* defaults to "localhost".
