+Verifying the Setup
+-------------------
+
+Once the deployment has finished, the OPNFV deployment can be accessed via the Instack node. From
+the jump host ssh to the instack host and become the stack user. Alternativly ssh keys have been
+setup such that the root user on the jump host can ssh to Instack directly as the stack user.
+
+| ``ssh root@192.0.2.1``
+| ``su - stack``
+
+Once connected to Instack as the stack user look for two keystone files that can be used to
+interact with the undercloud and the overcloud. Source the appropriate RC file to interact with
+the respective OpenStack deployment.
+
+| ``source stackrc`` (undercloud / Instack)
+| ``source overcloudrc`` (overcloud / OPNFV)
+
+The contents of these files include the credentials for the administrative user for Instack and
+OPNFV respectivly. At this point both Instack and OPNFV can be interacted with just as any
+OpenStack installation can be. Start by listing the nodes in the undercloud that were used
+to deploy the overcloud.
+
+| ``source stackrc``
+| ``openstack server list``
+
+The control and compute nodes will be listed in the output of this server list command. The IP
+addresses that are listed are the control plane addresses that were used to provision the nodes.
+Use these IP addresses to connect to these nodes. Initial authentication requires using the
+user heat-admin.
+
+| ``ssh heat-admin@192.0.2.7``
+
+To begin creating users, images, networks, servers, etc in OPNFV source the overcloudrc file or
+retrieve the admin user's credentials from the overcloudrc file and connect to the web Dashboard.
+
+
+You are now able to follow the `OpenStack Verification`_ section.
+
+OpenStack Verification
+----------------------
+
+Once connected to the OPNFV Dashboard make sure the OPNFV target system is working correctly:
+
+1.  In the left pane, click Compute -> Images, click Create Image.
+
+2.  Insert a name "cirros", Insert an Image Location
+    ``http://download.cirros-cloud.net/0.3.4/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img``.
+
+3.  Select format "QCOW2", select Public, then click Create Image.
+
+4.  Now click Project -> Network -> Networks, click Create Network.
+
+5.  Enter a name "internal", click Next.
+
+6.  Enter a subnet name "internal_subnet", and enter Network Address ``172.16.1.0/24``, click Next.
+
+7. Now go to Project -> Compute -> Instances, click Launch Instance.
+
+8. Enter Instance Name "first_instance", select Instance Boot Source "Boot from image",
+   and then select Image Name "cirros".
+
+9. Click Launch, status will cycle though a couple states before becoming "Active".
+
+10. Steps 7 though 9 can be repeated to launch more instances.
+
+11. Once an instance becomes "Active" their IP addresses will display on the Instances page.
+
+12. Click the name of an instance, then the "Console" tab and login as "cirros"/"cubswin:)"
+
+13. To verify storage is working, click Project -> Compute -> Volumes, Create Volume
+
+14. Give the volume a name and a size of 1 GB
+
+15. Once the volume becomes "Available" click the dropdown arrow and attach it to an instance.
+
+Congratulations you have successfully installed OPNFV!
