+### Check cluster status
+
+#### Kubernetes components
+
+#### Calico networking
+Check if the calico-node container is running
+```
+docker ps | grep calico
+```
+
+The **calicoctl** command allows to check the status of the network workloads.
+* Check the status of Calico nodes
+```
+calicoctl status
+```
+
+* Show the configured network subnet for containers
+```
+calicoctl pool show
+```
+
+* Show the workloads (ip addresses of containers and where they're located)
+```
+calicoctl endpoint show --detail
+```
+#### Flannel networking

+#### Test dns server
+* Create a file 'busybox.yaml' with the following content
+```
+apiVersion: v1
+kind: Pod
+metadata:
+  name: busybox
+  namespace: default
+spec:
+  containers:
+  - image: busybox
+    command:
+      - sleep
+      - "3600"
+    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
+    name: busybox
+  restartPolicy: Always
+```
+
+* Create the pod
+```
+kubectl create -f busybox.yaml
+```
+
+* When the pod is ready, execute the following command
+```
+kubectl exec busybox -- nslookup kubernetes.default
+```
+You should get an answer from the configured dns server

 Known issues
 -------------
 ### Node reboot and Calico
+There is a major issur with calico-kubernetes version 0.5.1 and kubernetes prior to 1.1 :
+After host reboot, the pods networking are not configured again, they are started without any network configuration.
+This issue will be fixed when kubernetes 1.1 will be released as described in this [issue]('https://github.com/projectcalico/calico-kubernetes/issues/34')
 
 ### Monitoring addon
+Until now i didn't managed to get the monitoring addon working.
 
-### Etcd failover
+### Listen on secure port only
+Currently the api-server listens on both secure and insecure ports.
+The insecure port is mainly used for calico.
+Will be fixed soon.
