+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.
