+Configure network
+=================
+network_cfg.yaml file describes networks configuration for openstack on hosts. It
+specifies host network mapping and ip assignment of networks to be installed on hosts.
+Compass4nfv includes a sample network_cfg.yaml under
+``compass4nfv/deploy/conf/network_cfg.yaml``
+
+There are three openstack networks to be installed: external, mgmt and storage. These
+three networks can be shared on one physical nic or on separate nics (multi-nic). The
+sample included in compass4nfv uses one nic. For multi-nic configuration, see multi-nic
+configuration.
+
+Configure openstack network
+---------------------------
+
+****! All interface name in network_cfg.yaml must be identified in dha file by mac address !****
+
+Compass4nfv will install networks on host as described in this configuration. It will look
+for physical nic on host by **mac address** from dha file and rename nic to the name with
+that mac address. Therefore, any network interface name that is not identified by mac
+address in dha file will not be installed correctly as compass4nfv cannot find the nic.
+
+**Configure provider network**
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ provider_net_mappings:
+ - name: br-prv
+ network: physnet
+ interface: eth1
+ type: ovs
+ role:
+ - controller
+ - compute
+
+The external nic in dha file must be named ``eth1`` with mac address. If user uses a
+different interface name in dha file, change ``eth1`` to that name here.
+Note: User cannot use eth0 for external interface name as install/pxe network is named as
+such.
+
+**Configure openstack mgmt&storage network**:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ sys_intf_mappings:
+ - name: mgmt
+ interface: eth1
+ vlan_tag: 101
+ type: vlan
+ role:
+ - controller
+ - compute
+ - name: storage
+ interface: eth1
+ vlan_tag: 102
+ type: vlan
+ role:
+ - controller
+ - compute
+
+Change ``vlan_tag`` of ``mgmt`` and ``storage`` to corresponding vlan tag configured on
+switch.
+
+**Note**: for virtual deployment, there is no need to modify mgmt&storage network.
+
+If using multi-nic feature, i.e, separate nic for mgmt or storage network, user needs to
+change ``name`` to desired nic name (need to match dha file). Please see multi-nic
+configuration.
+
+Assign IP address to networks
+-----------------------------------------
+
+``ip_settings`` section specifics ip assignment for openstack networks.
+
+User can use default ip range for mgmt&storage network.
+
+for external networks:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ - name: external
+ ip_ranges:
+ - - "192.168.50.210"
+ - "192.168.50.220"
+ cidr: "192.168.50.0/24"
+ gw: "192.168.50.1"
+ role:
+ - controller
+ - compute
+
+Provide at least number of hosts available ip for external IP range(these ips will be
+assigned to each host). Provide actual cidr and gateway in ``cidr`` and ``gw`` fields.
+
+**configure public IP for horizon dashboard**
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ public_vip:
+ ip: 192.168.50.240
+ netmask: "24"
+ interface: external
+
+Provide an external ip in ``ip`` field. This ip cannot be within the ip range assigned to
+external network configured in pervious section. It will be used for horizon address.
+
+See section 6.2 (Vitual) and 7.2 (BareMetal) for graphs illustrating network topology.
