The automated mechanisms inside the Functest Docker container will:

+Public/External network on SUT
+------------------------------
+Some of the tests against the VIM (Virtual Infrastructure Manager) need
+connectivity through an existing public/external network in order to succeed.
+This is needed, for example, to create floating IPs to access VM instances
+through the public/external network (i.e. from the Docker container).
+
+By default, the four OPNFV installers provide a fresh installation with a
+public/external network created along with a router. Make sure that the
+public/external subnet is reachable from the Jumphost.
+
+*Hint:* For the given OPNFV Installer in use, the IP sub-net address used for
+the public/external network is usually a planning item and should thus be known.
+Consult the OPNFV Configuration guide `[4]`_, and ensure you can reach each
+node in the SUT, from the Jumphost using the 'ping' command using the
+respective IP address on the public/external network for each node in the SUT.
+(The details of how to determine the needed IP addresses for each node in the
+SUT may vary according to the used installer and are therefore ommitted here.)
+
+Connectivity to OPNFV admin/management network
+----------------------------------------------
+Some of the Functest tools need to have access to the OpenStack admin/management
network of the controllers `[1]`_.
-For this reason, an interface shall be configured in the Jumphost in the
-OpenStack management network range.
+For this reason, an interface shall be configured in the Jumphost in the OpenStack admin/management network range.

-differ depending on the deployment settings on each installer. Check the
