+Setup Requirements
+==================
+
+Jumphost Requirements
+---------------------
+
+The Jumphost requirements are outlined below:
+
+1. CentOS 7 (from ISO or self-installed).
+
+2. Root access.
+
+3. libvirt virtualization support.
+
+4. minimum 2 networks and maximum 6 networks, multiple NIC and/or VLAN combinations are supported.
+ This is virtualized for a VM deployment.
+
+5. The Bramaputra Apex RPM.
+
+6. 16 GB of RAM for a bare metal deployment, 56 GB of RAM for a VM deployment.
+
+Network Requirements
+--------------------
+
+Network requirements include:
+
+1. No DHCP or TFTP server running on networks used by OPNFV.
+
+2. 2-6 separate networks with connectivity between Jumphost and nodes.
+
+ - Control Plane Network (Provisioning)
+
+ - Private / Internal Network*
+
+ - External Network
+
+ - Storage Network*
+
+3. Lights out OOB network access from Jumphost with IPMI node enabled (bare metal deployment only).
+
+4. Admin or public network has Internet access, meaning a gateway and DNS availability.
+
+| `*` *These networks can be combined with each other or all combined on the Control Plane network.*
+| `*` *Non-External networks will be consolidated to the Control Plane network if not specifically configured.*
+
+Bare Metal Node Requirements
+----------------------------
+
+Bare metal nodes require:
+
+1. IPMI enabled on OOB interface for power control.
+
+2. BIOS boot priority should be PXE first then local hard disk.
+
+3. BIOS PXE interface should include Control Plane network mentioned above.
+
+Execution Requirements (Bare Metal Only)
+----------------------------------------
+
+In order to execute a deployment, one must gather the following information:
+
+1. IPMI IP addresses for the nodes.
+
+2. IPMI login information for the nodes (user/pass).
+
+3. MAC address of Control Plane / Provisioning interfaces of the overcloud nodes.
