# List of running node examples > All code snippets are run from the root project directory. ## Whisper-Waku bridge This example demonstrates how bridging between Whisper and Waku works. First, start a Whisper node and listen to messages: ```shell script # start node $ ./build/bin/statusd -c ./_examples/whisper.json -fleet eth.test -dir ./test-bridge-whisper -addr=:30313 # create a symmetric key $ echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"shh_generateSymKeyFromPassword","params":["test-channel"],"id":1}' | \ nc -U ./test-bridge-whisper/geth.ipc { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "7d521b2501ec6ed99787ecdec98390f141e6d823c703ad88b73a09d81b07e35e" } # create a message filter $ echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"shh_newMessageFilter","params":[{"topics": ["0xaabbccdd"], "symKeyID":"7d521b2501ec6ed99787ecdec98390f141e6d823c703ad88b73a09d81b07e35e"}],"id":1}' | \ nc -U ./test-bridge-whisper/geth.ipc { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "8fd6c01721a90c6650223f8180afe10c66ea5ab30669797d8b42d09f65a819a6" } ``` In another terminal, start a Waku node and send messages: ```shell script $ ./build/bin/statusd -c ./_examples/waku.json -fleet eth.test -dir ./test-bridge-waku -addr=:30303 # create a symmetric key $ echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"waku_generateSymKeyFromPassword","params":["test-channel"],"id":1}' | \ nc -U ./test-waku-bridge/geth.ipc { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "1e07adfcb80c9e9853fb2c4cce3d91c17edd17ab6e950387833d64878fe91624" } # send a message $ echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"waku_post","params":[{"symKeyID":"98999c238e3747b7562674a86d450d531eca616d288a500268878e90848bfe4e", "ttl":100, "topic": "0xaabbccdd", "payload":"0x010203", "powTarget": 5.0, "powTime": 3}],"id":1}' | \ nc -U ./test-waku-bridge/geth.ipc { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "0x1832693cdb951b2cf459c9a6e98755407851af401ee1e7859a919ae95f79ef7a" } ``` Finally, check messages in Whisper node: ```shell script $ echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"shh_getFilterMessages","params":["8fd6c01721a90c6650223f8180afe10c66ea5ab30669797d8b42d09f65a819a6"],"id":1}' | \ nc -U ./test-whisper-bridge/geth.ipc | jq . { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": [ { "ttl": 100, "timestamp": 1582652341, "topic": "0xaabbccdd", "payload": "0xd31d35d36d37", "padding": "0x925591dc6f6b7d01bd687700a222004e133141b7bb8048ac45d90232d8025f02292aa83befe91fe8ec46a47e7bcfb09d8f2d3529afe4e1835315351248b6735a190c9915b021e54de1975ac9d801aff9dec7bfee4cbe9245c3caca70694fa95718e17f8a5b8385bfc3e7196328cdb4fe722e49368c308c35fe73573c639a54b944bc2e35b080b9d36e7d298340bed253be3a26ac609e19df25de90fd9ab4237423772077046805f8dc3d5ad028cc602fd687e98cbb2c4226cba54b7c3e28f6d22bee510db445fe64bfcc996ddcc40423e1fc9e7fd39e2c0b838ded69c451022fe9202b386d9bd17d47d33942c60172f22ab0d38675b0d92c", "pow": 17.418205980066446, "hash": "0x1832693cdb951b2cf459c9a6e98755407851af401ee1e7859a919ae95f79ef7a" } ] } ```
