+IPv6 Configuration - Setting Up a Service VM as an IPv6 vRouter
+===============================================================
+
+This section provides instructions to set up a service VM as an IPv6 vRouter using OPNFV Danube Release
+installers. The environment may be pure OpenStack option or Open Daylight L2-only option.
+The deployment model may be HA or non-HA. The infrastructure may be bare metal or virtual environment.
+
+For complete instructions and documentations of setting up service VM as an IPv6 vRouter using ANY method,
+please refer to:
+
+1. IPv6 Configuration Guide (HTML): http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/setupservicevm/index.html
+2. IPv6 User Guide (HTML): http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/gapanalysis/index.html
+
+****************************
+Pre-configuration Activities
+****************************
+
+The configuration will work in 2 environments:
+
+1. OpenStack-only environment
+2. OpenStack with Open Daylight L2-only environment
+
+Depending on which installer will be used to deploy OPNFV, each environment may be deployed
+on bare metal or virtualized infrastructure. Each deployment may be HA or non-HA.
+
+Refer to the previous installer configuration chapters, installations guide and release notes.
+
+******************************************
+Setup Manual in OpenStack-Only Environment
+******************************************
+
+If you intend to set up a service VM as an IPv6 vRouter in OpenStack-only environment of
+OPNFV Danube Release, please **NOTE** that:
+
+* Because the anti-spoofing rules of Security Group feature in OpenStack prevents
+  a VM from forwarding packets, we need to disable Security Group feature in the
+  OpenStack-only environment.
+* The hostnames, IP addresses, and username are for exemplary purpose in instructions.
+  Please change as needed to fit your environment.
+* The instructions apply to both deployment model of single controller node and
+  HA (High Availability) deployment model where multiple controller nodes are used.
+
+-----------------------------
+Install OPNFV and Preparation
+-----------------------------
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-INSTALL-1**: To install OpenStack-only environment of OPNFV Danube Release:
+
+**Apex Installer**:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # HA, Virtual deployment in OpenStack-only environment
+    ./opnfv-deploy -v -d /etc/opnfv-apex/os-nosdn-nofeature-ha.yaml \
+    -n /etc/opnfv-apex/network_setting.yaml
+
+    # HA, Bare Metal deployment in OpenStack-only environment
+    ./opnfv-deploy -d /etc/opnfv-apex/os-nosdn-nofeature-ha.yaml \
+    -i <inventory file> -n /etc/opnfv-apex/network_setting.yaml

+    ./opnfv-deploy -d /etc/opnfv-apex/os-nosdn-nofeature-noha.yaml \
+    -i <inventory file> -n /etc/opnfv-apex/network_setting.yaml
+
+    # Note:
+    #
+    # 1. Parameter ""-v" is mandatory for Virtual deployment
+    # 2. Parameter "-i <inventory file>" is mandatory for Bare Metal deployment
+    # 2.1 Refer to https://git.opnfv.org/cgit/apex/tree/config/inventory for examples of inventory file
+    # 3. You can use "-n /etc/opnfv-apex/network_setting_v6.yaml" for deployment in IPv6-only infrastructure
+
+**Compass** Installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # HA deployment in OpenStack-only environment

+    #
+    # Please refer to Fuel Installer's documentation for further information and any update
+
+**Joid** Installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # HA deployment in OpenStack-only environment
+    ./deploy.sh -o mitaka -s nosdn -t ha -l default -f ipv6
+
+    # Non-HA deployment in OpenStack-only environment
+    ./deploy.sh -o mitaka -s nosdn -t nonha -l default -f ipv6
+
+Please **NOTE** that:
+
+* You need to refer to **installer's documentation** for other necessary
+  parameters applicable to your deployment.
+* You need to refer to **Release Notes** and **installer's documentation** if there is
+  any issue in installation.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-INSTALL-2**: Clone the following GitHub repository to get the
+configuration and metadata files
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    git clone https://github.com/sridhargaddam/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc.git \
+    /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc
+
+----------------------------------------------
+Disable Security Groups in OpenStack ML2 Setup
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Please **NOTE** that although Security Groups feature has been disabled automatically
+through ``local.conf`` configuration file by some installers such as ``devstack``, it is very likely
+that other installers such as ``Apex``, ``Compass``, ``Fuel`` or ``Joid`` will enable Security
+Groups feature after installation.
+
+**Please make sure that Security Groups are disabled in the setup**
+
+In order to disable Security Groups globally, please make sure that the settings in
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-1** and **OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-2** are applied, if they
+are not there by default.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-1**: Change the settings in
+``/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini`` as follows, if they are not there by default
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
+    [securitygroup]
+    enable_security_group = True
+    firewall_driver = neutron.agent.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
+    [ml2]
+    extension_drivers = port_security
+    [agent]
+    prevent_arp_spoofing = False
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-2**: Change the settings in ``/etc/nova/nova.conf`` as follows,
+if they are not there by default.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # /etc/nova/nova.conf
+    [DEFAULT]
+    security_group_api = neutron
+    firewall_driver = nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-3**: After updating the settings, you will have to restart the
+``Neutron`` and ``Nova`` services.
+
+**Please note that the commands of restarting** ``Neutron`` **and** ``Nova`` **would vary
+depending on the installer. Please refer to relevant documentation of specific installers**
+
+---------------------------------
+Set Up Service VM as IPv6 vRouter
+---------------------------------
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-1**: Now we assume that OpenStack multi-node setup is up and running.
+We have to source the tenant credentials in OpenStack controller node in this step.
+Please **NOTE** that the method of sourcing tenant credentials may vary depending on installers.
+For example:
+
+**Apex** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # On jump host, source the tenant credentials using /bin/opnfv-util provided by Apex installer
+    opnfv-util undercloud "source overcloudrc; keystone service-list"
+
+    # Alternatively, you can copy the file /home/stack/overcloudrc from the installer VM called "undercloud"
+    # to a location in controller node, for example, in the directory /opt, and do:
+    # source /opt/overcloudrc
+
+**Compass** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Compass installer of OPNFV
+    source /opt/admin-openrc.sh
+
+**Fuel** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Fuel installer of OPNFV
+    source /root/openrc
+
+**Joid** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Joid installer of OPNFV
+    source $HOME/joid_config/admin-openrc
+
+**devstack**:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials in devstack
+    source openrc admin demo
+
+**Please refer to relevant documentation of installers if you encounter any issue**.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-2**: Download ``fedora22`` image which would be used for ``vRouter``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    wget https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Cloud/x86_64/\
+    Images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-22-20150521.x86_64.qcow2
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-3**: Import Fedora22 image to ``glance``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    glance image-create --name 'Fedora22' --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare \
+    --file ./Fedora-Cloud-Base-22-20150521.x86_64.qcow2
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-4: This step is Informational. OPNFV Installer has taken care of this step
+during deployment. You may refer to this step only if there is any issue, or if you are using other installers**.
+
+We have to move the physical interface (i.e. the public network interface) to ``br-ex``, including moving
+the public IP address and setting up default route. Please refer to ``OS-NATIVE-SETUP-4`` and
+``OS-NATIVE-SETUP-5`` in our `more complete instruction <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/setupservicevm/5-ipv6-configguide-scenario-1-native-os.html#set-up-service-vm-as-ipv6-vrouter>`_.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-5**: Create Neutron routers ``ipv4-router`` and ``ipv6-router``
+which need to provide external connectivity.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron router-create ipv4-router
+    neutron router-create ipv6-router
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-6**: Create an external network/subnet ``ext-net`` using
+the appropriate values based on the data-center physical network setup.
+
+Please **NOTE** that you may only need to create the subnet of ``ext-net`` because OPNFV installers
+should have created an external network during installation. You must use the same name of external
+network that installer creates when you create the subnet. For example:
+
+* **Apex** installer: ``external``
+* **Compass** installer: ``ext-net``
+* **Fuel** installer: ``admin_floating_net``
+* **Joid** installer: ``ext-net``
+
+**Please refer to the documentation of installers if there is any issue**
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # This is needed only if installer does not create an external work
+    # Otherwise, skip this command "net-create"
+    neutron net-create --router:external ext-net
+
+    # Note that the name "ext-net" may work for some installers such as Compass and Joid
+    # Change the name "ext-net" to match the name of external network that an installer creates
+    neutron subnet-create --disable-dhcp --allocation-pool start=198.59.156.251,\
+    end=198.59.156.254 --gateway 198.59.156.1 ext-net 198.59.156.0/24
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-7**: Create Neutron networks ``ipv4-int-network1`` and
+``ipv6-int-network2`` with port_security disabled
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron net-create ipv4-int-network1
+    neutron net-create ipv6-int-network2
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-8**: Create IPv4 subnet ``ipv4-int-subnet1`` in the internal network
+``ipv4-int-network1``, and associate it to ``ipv4-router``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron subnet-create --name ipv4-int-subnet1 --dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8 \
+    ipv4-int-network1 20.0.0.0/24
+
+    neutron router-interface-add ipv4-router ipv4-int-subnet1
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-9**: Associate the ``ext-net`` to the Neutron routers ``ipv4-router``
+and ``ipv6-router``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # Note that the name "ext-net" may work for some installers such as Compass and Joid
+    # Change the name "ext-net" to match the name of external network that an installer creates
+    neutron router-gateway-set ipv4-router ext-net
+    neutron router-gateway-set ipv6-router ext-net
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-10**: Create two subnets, one IPv4 subnet ``ipv4-int-subnet2`` and
+one IPv6 subnet ``ipv6-int-subnet2`` in ``ipv6-int-network2``, and associate both subnets to
+``ipv6-router``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron subnet-create --name ipv4-int-subnet2 --dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8 \
+    ipv6-int-network2 10.0.0.0/24
+
+    neutron subnet-create --name ipv6-int-subnet2 --ip-version 6 --ipv6-ra-mode slaac \
+    --ipv6-address-mode slaac ipv6-int-network2 2001:db8:0:1::/64
+
+    neutron router-interface-add ipv6-router ipv4-int-subnet2
+    neutron router-interface-add ipv6-router ipv6-int-subnet2
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-11**: Create a keypair
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    nova keypair-add vRouterKey > ~/vRouterKey
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-12**: Create ports for vRouter (with some specific MAC address
+- basically for automation - to know the IPv6 addresses that would be assigned to the port).
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron port-create --name eth0-vRouter --mac-address fa:16:3e:11:11:11 ipv6-int-network2
+    neutron port-create --name eth1-vRouter --mac-address fa:16:3e:22:22:22 ipv4-int-network1
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-13**: Create ports for VM1 and VM2.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron port-create --name eth0-VM1 --mac-address fa:16:3e:33:33:33 ipv4-int-network1
+    neutron port-create --name eth0-VM2 --mac-address fa:16:3e:44:44:44 ipv4-int-network1
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-14**: Update ``ipv6-router`` with routing information to subnet
+``2001:db8:0:2::/64``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron router-update ipv6-router --routes type=dict list=true \
+    destination=2001:db8:0:2::/64,nexthop=2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-15**: Boot Service VM (``vRouter``), VM1 and VM2
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    nova boot --image Fedora22 --flavor m1.small \
+    --user-data /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/metadata.txt \
+    --availability-zone nova:opnfv-os-compute \
+    --nic port-id=$(neutron port-list | grep -w eth0-vRouter | awk '{print $2}') \
+    --nic port-id=$(neutron port-list | grep -w eth1-vRouter | awk '{print $2}') \
+    --key-name vRouterKey vRouter
+
+    nova list
+
+    # Please wait for some 10 to 15 minutes so that necessary packages (like radvd)
+    # are installed and vRouter is up.
+    nova console-log vRouter
+
+    nova boot --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec --flavor m1.tiny \
+    --user-data /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/set_mtu.sh \
+    --availability-zone nova:opnfv-os-controller \
+    --nic port-id=$(neutron port-list | grep -w eth0-VM1 | awk '{print $2}') \
+    --key-name vRouterKey VM1
+
+    nova boot --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec --flavor m1.tiny
+    --user-data /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/set_mtu.sh \
+    --availability-zone nova:opnfv-os-compute \
+    --nic port-id=$(neutron port-list | grep -w eth0-VM2 | awk '{print $2}') \
+    --key-name vRouterKey VM2
+
+    nova list # Verify that all the VMs are in ACTIVE state.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-16**: If all goes well, the IPv6 addresses assigned to the VMs
+would be as shown as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # vRouter eth0 interface would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111/64
+    # vRouter eth1 interface would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2::1/64
+    # VM1 would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe33:3333/64
+    # VM2 would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe44:4444/64
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-17**: Now we need to disable ``eth0-VM1``, ``eth0-VM2``,
+``eth0-vRouter`` and ``eth1-vRouter`` port-security
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    for port in eth0-VM1 eth0-VM2 eth0-vRouter eth1-vRouter
+    do
+        neutron port-update --no-security-groups $port
+        neutron port-update $port --port-security-enabled=False
+        neutron port-show $port | grep port_security_enabled
+    done
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-18**: Now we can ``SSH`` to VMs. You can execute the following command.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # 1. Create a floatingip and associate it with VM1, VM2 and vRouter (to the port id that is passed).
+    #    Note that the name "ext-net" may work for some installers such as Compass and Joid
+    #    Change the name "ext-net" to match the name of external network that an installer creates
+    neutron floatingip-create --port-id $(neutron port-list | grep -w eth0-VM1 | \
+    awk '{print $2}') ext-net
+    neutron floatingip-create --port-id $(neutron port-list | grep -w eth0-VM2 | \
+    awk '{print $2}') ext-net
+    neutron floatingip-create --port-id $(neutron port-list | grep -w eth1-vRouter | \
+    awk '{print $2}') ext-net
+
+    # 2. To know / display the floatingip associated with VM1, VM2 and vRouter.
+    neutron floatingip-list -F floating_ip_address -F port_id | grep $(neutron port-list | \
+    grep -w eth0-VM1 | awk '{print $2}') | awk '{print $2}'

+    neutron floatingip-list -F floating_ip_address -F port_id | grep $(neutron port-list | \
+    grep -w eth1-vRouter | awk '{print $2}') | awk '{print $2}'
+
+    # 3. To ssh to the vRouter, VM1 and VM2, user can execute the following command.
+    ssh -i ~/vRouterKey fedora@<floating-ip-of-vRouter>
+    ssh -i ~/vRouterKey cirros@<floating-ip-of-VM1>
+    ssh -i ~/vRouterKey cirros@<floating-ip-of-VM2>

+****************************************************************
+Setup Manual in OpenStack with Open Daylight L2-Only Environment
+****************************************************************
+
+If you intend to set up a service VM as an IPv6 vRouter in an environment of OpenStack
+and Open Daylight L2-only of OPNFV Danube Release, please **NOTE** that:
+
+* We **SHOULD** use the ``odl-ovsdb-openstack`` version of Open Daylight Boron
+  in OPNFV Danube Release. Please refer to our
+  `Gap Analysis <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/gapanalysis/gap-analysis-odl-boron.html>`_
+  for more information.
+* The hostnames, IP addresses, and username are for exemplary purpose in instructions.
+  Please change as needed to fit your environment.
+* The instructions apply to both deployment model of single controller node and
+  HA (High Availability) deployment model where multiple controller nodes are used.
+* However, in case of HA, when ``ipv6-router`` is created in step **SETUP-SVM-11**,
+  it could be created in any of the controller node. Thus you need to identify in which
+  controller node ``ipv6-router`` is created in order to manually spawn ``radvd`` daemon
+  inside the ``ipv6-router`` namespace in steps **SETUP-SVM-24** through **SETUP-SVM-30**.
+
+-----------------------------
+Install OPNFV and Preparation

+Disable Security Groups in OpenStack ML2 Setup
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Please **NOTE** that although Security Groups feature has been disabled automatically
+through ``local.conf`` configuration file by some installers such as ``devstack``, it is very likely
+that other installers such as ``Apex``, ``Compass``, ``Fuel`` or ``Joid`` will enable Security
+Groups feature after installation.
+
+**Please make sure that Security Groups are disabled in the setup**
+
+In order to disable Security Groups globally, please make sure that the settings in
+**OPNFV-SEC-1** and **OPNFV-SEC-2** are applied, if they are not there by default.
+
+**OPNFV-SEC-1**: Change the settings in
+``/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini`` as follows, if they
+are not there by default.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
+    [securitygroup]
+    enable_security_group = True
+    firewall_driver = neutron.agent.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
+    [ml2]
+    extension_drivers = port_security
+    [agent]
+    prevent_arp_spoofing = False
+
+**OPNFV-SEC-2**: Change the settings in ``/etc/nova/nova.conf`` as follows,
+if they are not there by default.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # /etc/nova/nova.conf
+    [DEFAULT]
+    security_group_api = neutron
+    firewall_driver = nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
+
+**OPNFV-SEC-3**: After updating the settings, you will have to restart the
+``Neutron`` and ``Nova`` services.
+
+**Please note that the commands of restarting** ``Neutron`` **and** ``Nova`` **would vary
+depending on the installer. Please refer to relevant documentation of specific installers**
+
+---------------------------------------------------
+Source the Credentials in OpenStack Controller Node
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+**SETUP-SVM-1**: Login in OpenStack Controller Node. Start a new terminal,
+and change directory to where OpenStack is installed.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-2**: We have to source the tenant credentials in this step. Please **NOTE**
+that the method of sourcing tenant credentials may vary depending on installers. For example:
+
+**Apex** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # On jump host, source the tenant credentials using /bin/opnfv-util provided by Apex installer
+    opnfv-util undercloud "source overcloudrc; keystone service-list"
+
+    # Alternatively, you can copy the file /home/stack/overcloudrc from the installer VM called "undercloud"
+    # to a location in controller node, for example, in the directory /opt, and do:
+    # source /opt/overcloudrc
+
+**Compass** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Compass installer of OPNFV
+    source /opt/admin-openrc.sh
+
+**Fuel** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Fuel installer of OPNFV
+    source /root/openrc
+
+**Joid** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Joid installer of OPNFV
+    source $HOME/joid_config/admin-openrc
+
+**devstack**:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials in devstack
+    source openrc admin demo
+
+**Please refer to relevant documentation of installers if you encounter any issue**.
+

+Informational Note: Move Public Network from Physical Network Interface to ``br-ex``
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+**SETUP-SVM-3**: Move the physical interface (i.e. the public network interface) to ``br-ex``
+
+**SETUP-SVM-4**: Verify setup of ``br-ex``
+
+**Those 2 steps are Informational. OPNFV Installer has taken care of those 2 steps during deployment.
+You may refer to this step only if there is any issue, or if you are using other installers**.
+
+We have to move the physical interface (i.e. the public network interface) to ``br-ex``, including moving
+the public IP address and setting up default route. Please refer to ``SETUP-SVM-3`` and
+``SETUP-SVM-4`` in our `more complete instruction <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/setupservicevm/4-ipv6-configguide-servicevm.html#add-external-connectivity-to-br-ex>`_.

+
+**SETUP-SVM-6**: Create an external network/subnet ``ext-net`` using the appropriate values based on the
+data-center physical network setup.
+
+Please **NOTE** that you may only need to create the subnet of ``ext-net`` because OPNFV installers
+should have created an external network during installation. You must use the same name of external
+network that installer creates when you create the subnet. For example:
+
+* **Apex** installer: ``external``
+* **Compass** installer: ``ext-net``
+* **Fuel** installer: ``admin_floating_net``
+* **Joid** installer: ``ext-net``
+
+**Please refer to the documentation of installers if there is any issue**

+Boot Service VM (``vRouter``) with ``eth0`` on ``ipv4-int-network2`` and ``eth1`` on ``ipv4-int-network1``
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Let us boot the service VM (``vRouter``) with ``eth0`` interface on ``ipv4-int-network2`` connecting to ``ipv6-router``,
+and ``eth1`` interface on ``ipv4-int-network1`` connecting to ``ipv4-router``.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-19**: Boot the ``vRouter`` using ``Fedora22`` image on the OpenStack Compute Node with hostname

+Boot Two Other VMs in ``ipv4-int-network1``
+-------------------------------------------
+
+In order to verify that the setup is working, let us create two cirros VMs with ``eth1`` interface on the
+``ipv4-int-network1``, i.e., connecting to ``vRouter`` ``eth1`` interface for internal network.
+
+We will have to configure appropriate ``mtu`` on the VMs' interface by taking into account the tunneling
+overhead and any physical switch requirements. If so, push the ``mtu`` to the VM either using ``dhcp``
+options or via ``meta-data``.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-21**: Create VM1 on OpenStack Controller Node with hostname ``opnfv-os-controller``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    nova boot --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec --flavor m1.tiny \

+
+**SETUP-SVM-22**: Create VM2 on OpenStack Compute Node with hostname ``opnfv-os-compute``
+
+.. code-block:: bash

+    --nic port-id=$(neutron port-list | grep -w eth0-VM2 | awk '{print $2}') \
+    --key-name vRouterKey VM2
+
+**SETUP-SVM-23**: Confirm that both the VMs are successfully booted.
+
+.. code-block:: bash

+    nova list
+    nova console-log VM1
+    nova console-log VM2
+
+----------------------------------
+Spawn ``RADVD`` in ``ipv6-router``
+----------------------------------
+
+Let us manually spawn a ``radvd`` daemon inside ``ipv6-router`` namespace to simulate an external router.
+First of all, we will have to identify the ``ipv6-router`` namespace and move to the namespace.
+
+Please **NOTE** that in case of HA (High Availability) deployment model where multiple controller
+nodes are used, ``ipv6-router`` created in step **SETUP-SVM-11** could be in any of the controller
+node. Thus you need to identify in which controller node ``ipv6-router`` is created in order to manually
+spawn ``radvd`` daemon inside the ``ipv6-router`` namespace in steps **SETUP-SVM-24** through
+**SETUP-SVM-30**. The following command in Neutron will display the controller on which the
+``ipv6-router`` is spawned.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron l3-agent-list-hosting-router ipv6-router
+
+Then you login to that controller and execute steps **SETUP-SVM-24**
+through **SETUP-SVM-30**
+
+**SETUP-SVM-24**: identify the ``ipv6-router`` namespace and move to the namespace
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo ip netns exec qrouter-$(neutron router-list | grep -w ipv6-router | \
+    awk '{print $2}') bash
+
+**SETUP-SVM-25**: Upon successful execution of the above command, you will be in the router namespace.
+Now let us configure the IPv6 address on the <qr-xxx> interface.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    export router_interface=$(ip a s | grep -w "global qr-*" | awk '{print $7}')
+    ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:0:1::1 dev $router_interface
+
+**SETUP-SVM-26**: Update the sample file ``/opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/scenario2/radvd.conf``
+with ``$router_interface``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    cp /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/scenario2/radvd.conf /tmp/radvd.$router_interface.conf
+    sed -i 's/$router_interface/'$router_interface'/g' /tmp/radvd.$router_interface.conf
+
+**SETUP-SVM-27**: Spawn a ``radvd`` daemon to simulate an external router. This ``radvd`` daemon advertises an IPv6
+subnet prefix of ``2001:db8:0:1::/64`` using RA (Router Advertisement) on its $router_interface so that ``eth0``
+interface of ``vRouter`` automatically configures an IPv6 SLAAC address.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $radvd -C /tmp/radvd.$router_interface.conf -p /tmp/br-ex.pid.radvd -m syslog
+
+**SETUP-SVM-28**: Add an IPv6 downstream route pointing to the ``eth0`` interface of vRouter.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ip -6 route add 2001:db8:0:2::/64 via 2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111
+
+**SETUP-SVM-29**: The routing table should now look similar to something shown below.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ip -6 route show
+    2001:db8:0:1::1 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto kernel metric 256
+    2001:db8:0:1::/64 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto kernel metric 256 expires 86384sec
+    2001:db8:0:2::/64 via 2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto ra metric 1024 expires 29sec
+    fe80::/64 dev qg-3736e0c7-7c proto kernel metric 256
+    fe80::/64 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto kernel metric 256
+
+**SETUP-SVM-30**: If all goes well, the IPv6 addresses assigned to the VMs would be as shown as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # vRouter eth0 interface would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111/64
+    # vRouter eth1 interface would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2::1/64
+    # VM1 would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe33:3333/64
+    # VM2 would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe44:4444/64
+
+--------------------------------
+Testing to Verify Setup Complete
+--------------------------------
+
+Now, let us ``SSH`` to those VMs, e.g. VM1 and / or VM2 and / or vRouter, to confirm that
+it has successfully configured the IPv6 address using ``SLAAC`` with prefix
+``2001:db8:0:2::/64`` from ``vRouter``.
+
+We use ``floatingip`` mechanism to achieve ``SSH``.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-31**: Now we can ``SSH`` to VMs. You can execute the following command.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # 1. Create a floatingip and associate it with VM1, VM2 and vRouter (to the port id that is passed).
+    #    Note that the name "ext-net" may work for some installers such as Compass and Joid

+    grep -w eth1-vRouter | awk '{print $2}') | awk '{print $2}'
+
+    # 3. To ssh to the vRouter, VM1 and VM2, user can execute the following command.
+    ssh -i ~/vRouterKey fedora@<floating-ip-of-vRouter>
+    ssh -i ~/vRouterKey cirros@<floating-ip-of-VM1>
+    ssh -i ~/vRouterKey cirros@<floating-ip-of-VM2>
+
+If everything goes well, ``ssh`` will be successful and you will be logged into those VMs.
+Run some commands to verify that IPv6 addresses are configured on ``eth0`` interface.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-32**: Show an IPv6 address with a prefix of ``2001:db8:0:2::/64``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ip address show
+
+**SETUP-SVM-33**: ping some external IPv6 address, e.g. ``ipv6-router``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ping6 2001:db8:0:1::1
+
+If the above ping6 command succeeds, it implies that ``vRouter`` was able to successfully forward the IPv6 traffic
+to reach external ``ipv6-router``.

+IPv6 Configuration - Setting Up a Service VM as an IPv6 vRouter
+===============================================================
+
+This section provides instructions to set up a service VM as an IPv6 vRouter using OPNFV Danube Release
+installers. The environment may be pure OpenStack option or Open Daylight L2-only option.
+The deployment model may be HA or non-HA. The infrastructure may be bare metal or virtual environment.
+
+For complete instructions and documentations of setting up service VM as an IPv6 vRouter using ANY method,
+please refer to:
+
+1. IPv6 Configuration Guide (HTML): http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/setupservicevm/index.html
+2. IPv6 User Guide (HTML): http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/gapanalysis/index.html
+
+****************************
+Pre-configuration Activities
+****************************
+
+The configuration will work in 2 environments:
+
+1. OpenStack-only environment
+2. OpenStack with Open Daylight L2-only environment
+
+Depending on which installer will be used to deploy OPNFV, each environment may be deployed
+on bare metal or virtualized infrastructure. Each deployment may be HA or non-HA.
+
+Refer to the previous installer configuration chapters, installations guide and release notes.
+
+******************************************
+Setup Manual in OpenStack-Only Environment
+******************************************
+
+If you intend to set up a service VM as an IPv6 vRouter in OpenStack-only environment of
+OPNFV Danube Release, please **NOTE** that:
+
+* Because the anti-spoofing rules of Security Group feature in OpenStack prevents
+  a VM from forwarding packets, we need to disable Security Group feature in the
+  OpenStack-only environment.
+* The hostnames, IP addresses, and username are for exemplary purpose in instructions.
+  Please change as needed to fit your environment.
+* The instructions apply to both deployment model of single controller node and
+  HA (High Availability) deployment model where multiple controller nodes are used.
+
+-----------------------------
+Install OPNFV and Preparation
+-----------------------------
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-INSTALL-1**: To install OpenStack-only environment of OPNFV Danube Release:

+
+**Joid** Installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # HA deployment in OpenStack-only environment
+    ./deploy.sh -o mitaka -s nosdn -t ha -l default -f ipv6
+
+    # Non-HA deployment in OpenStack-only environment
+    ./deploy.sh -o mitaka -s nosdn -t nonha -l default -f ipv6
+
+Please **NOTE** that:
+
+* You need to refer to **installer's documentation** for other necessary
+  parameters applicable to your deployment.
+* You need to refer to **Release Notes** and **installer's documentation** if there is
+  any issue in installation.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-INSTALL-2**: Clone the following GitHub repository to get the
+configuration and metadata files
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    git clone https://github.com/sridhargaddam/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc.git \
+    /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc
+
+----------------------------------------------
+Disable Security Groups in OpenStack ML2 Setup
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Please **NOTE** that although Security Groups feature has been disabled automatically
+through ``local.conf`` configuration file by some installers such as ``devstack``, it is very likely
+that other installers such as ``Apex``, ``Compass``, ``Fuel`` or ``Joid`` will enable Security
+Groups feature after installation.
+
+**Please make sure that Security Groups are disabled in the setup**
+
+In order to disable Security Groups globally, please make sure that the settings in
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-1** and **OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-2** are applied, if they
+are not there by default.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-1**: Change the settings in
+``/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini`` as follows, if they are not there by default
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
+    [securitygroup]
+    enable_security_group = True
+    firewall_driver = neutron.agent.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
+    [ml2]
+    extension_drivers = port_security
+    [agent]
+    prevent_arp_spoofing = False
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-2**: Change the settings in ``/etc/nova/nova.conf`` as follows,
+if they are not there by default.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # /etc/nova/nova.conf
+    [DEFAULT]
+    security_group_api = neutron
+    firewall_driver = nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-3**: After updating the settings, you will have to restart the
+``Neutron`` and ``Nova`` services.
+
+**Please note that the commands of restarting** ``Neutron`` **and** ``Nova`` **would vary
+depending on the installer. Please refer to relevant documentation of specific installers**
+
+---------------------------------
+Set Up Service VM as IPv6 vRouter
+---------------------------------
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-1**: Now we assume that OpenStack multi-node setup is up and running.
+We have to source the tenant credentials in OpenStack controller node in this step.
+Please **NOTE** that the method of sourcing tenant credentials may vary depending on installers.
+For example:
+
+**Apex** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # On jump host, source the tenant credentials using /bin/opnfv-util provided by Apex installer
+    opnfv-util undercloud "source overcloudrc; keystone service-list"
+
+    # Alternatively, you can copy the file /home/stack/overcloudrc from the installer VM called "undercloud"
+    # to a location in controller node, for example, in the directory /opt, and do:
+    # source /opt/overcloudrc
+
+**Compass** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Compass installer of OPNFV
+    source /opt/admin-openrc.sh
+
+**Fuel** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Fuel installer of OPNFV
+    source /root/openrc
+
+**Joid** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Joid installer of OPNFV
+    source $HOME/joid_config/admin-openrc
+
+**devstack**:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials in devstack
+    source openrc admin demo
+
+**Please refer to relevant documentation of installers if you encounter any issue**.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-2**: Download ``fedora22`` image which would be used for ``vRouter``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    wget https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/22/Cloud/x86_64/\
+    Images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-22-20150521.x86_64.qcow2
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-3**: Import Fedora22 image to ``glance``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    glance image-create --name 'Fedora22' --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare \
+    --file ./Fedora-Cloud-Base-22-20150521.x86_64.qcow2
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-4: This step is Informational. OPNFV Installer has taken care of this step
+during deployment. You may refer to this step only if there is any issue, or if you are using other installers**.
+
+We have to move the physical interface (i.e. the public network interface) to ``br-ex``, including moving
+the public IP address and setting up default route. Please refer to ``OS-NATIVE-SETUP-4`` and
+``OS-NATIVE-SETUP-5`` in our `more complete instruction <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/setupservicevm/5-ipv6-configguide-scenario-1-native-os.html#set-up-service-vm-as-ipv6-vrouter>`_.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-5**: Create Neutron routers ``ipv4-router`` and ``ipv6-router``
+which need to provide external connectivity.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron router-create ipv4-router
+    neutron router-create ipv6-router
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-6**: Create an external network/subnet ``ext-net`` using
+the appropriate values based on the data-center physical network setup.
+
+Please **NOTE** that you may only need to create the subnet of ``ext-net`` because OPNFV installers
+should have created an external network during installation. You must use the same name of external
+network that installer creates when you create the subnet. For example:
+
+* **Apex** installer: ``external``
+* **Compass** installer: ``ext-net``
+* **Fuel** installer: ``admin_floating_net``
+* **Joid** installer: ``ext-net``
+
+**Please refer to the documentation of installers if there is any issue**
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # This is needed only if installer does not create an external work
+    # Otherwise, skip this command "net-create"
+    neutron net-create --router:external ext-net
+
+    # Note that the name "ext-net" may work for some installers such as Compass and Joid
+    # Change the name "ext-net" to match the name of external network that an installer creates
+    neutron subnet-create --disable-dhcp --allocation-pool start=198.59.156.251,\
+    end=198.59.156.254 --gateway 198.59.156.1 ext-net 198.59.156.0/24
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-7**: Create Neutron networks ``ipv4-int-network1`` and
+``ipv6-int-network2`` with port_security disabled
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron net-create ipv4-int-network1
+    neutron net-create ipv6-int-network2
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-8**: Create IPv4 subnet ``ipv4-int-subnet1`` in the internal network
+``ipv4-int-network1``, and associate it to ``ipv4-router``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron subnet-create --name ipv4-int-subnet1 --dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8 \
+    ipv4-int-network1 20.0.0.0/24
+
+    neutron router-interface-add ipv4-router ipv4-int-subnet1
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-9**: Associate the ``ext-net`` to the Neutron routers ``ipv4-router``
+and ``ipv6-router``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # Note that the name "ext-net" may work for some installers such as Compass and Joid
+    # Change the name "ext-net" to match the name of external network that an installer creates
+    neutron router-gateway-set ipv4-router ext-net
+    neutron router-gateway-set ipv6-router ext-net
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-10**: Create two subnets, one IPv4 subnet ``ipv4-int-subnet2`` and
+one IPv6 subnet ``ipv6-int-subnet2`` in ``ipv6-int-network2``, and associate both subnets to
+``ipv6-router``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron subnet-create --name ipv4-int-subnet2 --dns-nameserver 8.8.8.8 \
+    ipv6-int-network2 10.0.0.0/24
+
+    neutron subnet-create --name ipv6-int-subnet2 --ip-version 6 --ipv6-ra-mode slaac \
+    --ipv6-address-mode slaac ipv6-int-network2 2001:db8:0:1::/64
+
+    neutron router-interface-add ipv6-router ipv4-int-subnet2
+    neutron router-interface-add ipv6-router ipv6-int-subnet2
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-11**: Create a keypair
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    nova keypair-add vRouterKey > ~/vRouterKey
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-12**: Create ports for vRouter (with some specific MAC address
+- basically for automation - to know the IPv6 addresses that would be assigned to the port).
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron port-create --name eth0-vRouter --mac-address fa:16:3e:11:11:11 ipv6-int-network2
+    neutron port-create --name eth1-vRouter --mac-address fa:16:3e:22:22:22 ipv4-int-network1
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-13**: Create ports for VM1 and VM2.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron port-create --name eth0-VM1 --mac-address fa:16:3e:33:33:33 ipv4-int-network1
+    neutron port-create --name eth0-VM2 --mac-address fa:16:3e:44:44:44 ipv4-int-network1
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-14**: Update ``ipv6-router`` with routing information to subnet
+``2001:db8:0:2::/64``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron router-update ipv6-router --routes type=dict list=true \
+    destination=2001:db8:0:2::/64,nexthop=2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-15**: Boot Service VM (``vRouter``), VM1 and VM2
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    nova boot --image Fedora22 --flavor m1.small \
+    --user-data /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/metadata.txt \

+
+    nova list
+
+    # Please wait for some 10 to 15 minutes so that necessary packages (like radvd)
+    # are installed and vRouter is up.
+    nova console-log vRouter

+    --key-name vRouterKey VM2
+
+    nova list # Verify that all the VMs are in ACTIVE state.
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-16**: If all goes well, the IPv6 addresses assigned to the VMs
+would be as shown as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # vRouter eth0 interface would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111/64
+    # vRouter eth1 interface would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2::1/64
+    # VM1 would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe33:3333/64
+    # VM2 would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe44:4444/64
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-17**: Now we need to disable ``eth0-VM1``, ``eth0-VM2``,
+``eth0-vRouter`` and ``eth1-vRouter`` port-security
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    for port in eth0-VM1 eth0-VM2 eth0-vRouter eth1-vRouter

+        neutron port-show $port | grep port_security_enabled
+    done
+
+**OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-18**: Now we can ``SSH`` to VMs. You can execute the following command.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # 1. Create a floatingip and associate it with VM1, VM2 and vRouter (to the port id that is passed).
+    #    Note that the name "ext-net" may work for some installers such as Compass and Joid

+Setup Manual in OpenStack with Open Daylight L2-Only Environment
+****************************************************************
+
+If you intend to set up a service VM as an IPv6 vRouter in an environment of OpenStack
+and Open Daylight L2-only of OPNFV Danube Release, please **NOTE** that:
+
+* We **SHOULD** use the ``odl-ovsdb-openstack`` version of Open Daylight Boron
+  in OPNFV Danube Release. Please refer to our
+  `Gap Analysis <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/gapanalysis/gap-analysis-odl-boron.html>`_
+  for more information.
+* The hostnames, IP addresses, and username are for exemplary purpose in instructions.
+  Please change as needed to fit your environment.
+* The instructions apply to both deployment model of single controller node and
+  HA (High Availability) deployment model where multiple controller nodes are used.
+* However, in case of HA, when ``ipv6-router`` is created in step **SETUP-SVM-11**,
+  it could be created in any of the controller node. Thus you need to identify in which
+  controller node ``ipv6-router`` is created in order to manually spawn ``radvd`` daemon
+  inside the ``ipv6-router`` namespace in steps **SETUP-SVM-24** through **SETUP-SVM-30**.

+Disable Security Groups in OpenStack ML2 Setup
+----------------------------------------------
+
+Please **NOTE** that although Security Groups feature has been disabled automatically
+through ``local.conf`` configuration file by some installers such as ``devstack``, it is very likely
+that other installers such as ``Apex``, ``Compass``, ``Fuel`` or ``Joid`` will enable Security
+Groups feature after installation.
+
+**Please make sure that Security Groups are disabled in the setup**
+
+In order to disable Security Groups globally, please make sure that the settings in
+**OPNFV-SEC-1** and **OPNFV-SEC-2** are applied, if they are not there by default.
+
+**OPNFV-SEC-1**: Change the settings in
+``/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini`` as follows, if they
+are not there by default.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
+    [securitygroup]
+    enable_security_group = True
+    firewall_driver = neutron.agent.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
+    [ml2]
+    extension_drivers = port_security
+    [agent]
+    prevent_arp_spoofing = False
+
+**OPNFV-SEC-2**: Change the settings in ``/etc/nova/nova.conf`` as follows,
+if they are not there by default.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # /etc/nova/nova.conf
+    [DEFAULT]
+    security_group_api = neutron
+    firewall_driver = nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver
+
+**OPNFV-SEC-3**: After updating the settings, you will have to restart the
+``Neutron`` and ``Nova`` services.
+
+**Please note that the commands of restarting** ``Neutron`` **and** ``Nova`` **would vary
+depending on the installer. Please refer to relevant documentation of specific installers**
+
+---------------------------------------------------
+Source the Credentials in OpenStack Controller Node
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+**SETUP-SVM-1**: Login in OpenStack Controller Node. Start a new terminal,
+and change directory to where OpenStack is installed.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-2**: We have to source the tenant credentials in this step. Please **NOTE**
+that the method of sourcing tenant credentials may vary depending on installers. For example:
+
+**Apex** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # On jump host, source the tenant credentials using /bin/opnfv-util provided by Apex installer
+    opnfv-util undercloud "source overcloudrc; keystone service-list"
+
+    # Alternatively, you can copy the file /home/stack/overcloudrc from the installer VM called "undercloud"
+    # to a location in controller node, for example, in the directory /opt, and do:
+    # source /opt/overcloudrc
+
+**Compass** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Compass installer of OPNFV
+    source /opt/admin-openrc.sh
+
+**Fuel** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Fuel installer of OPNFV
+    source /root/openrc
+
+**Joid** installer:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials using Joid installer of OPNFV
+    source $HOME/joid_config/admin-openrc
+
+**devstack**:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # source the tenant credentials in devstack
+    source openrc admin demo
+
+**Please refer to relevant documentation of installers if you encounter any issue**.
+

+Informational Note: Move Public Network from Physical Network Interface to ``br-ex``
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+**SETUP-SVM-3**: Move the physical interface (i.e. the public network interface) to ``br-ex``
+
+**SETUP-SVM-4**: Verify setup of ``br-ex``
+
+**Those 2 steps are Informational. OPNFV Installer has taken care of those 2 steps during deployment.
+You may refer to this step only if there is any issue, or if you are using other installers**.
+
+We have to move the physical interface (i.e. the public network interface) to ``br-ex``, including moving
+the public IP address and setting up default route. Please refer to ``SETUP-SVM-3`` and
+``SETUP-SVM-4`` in our `more complete instruction <http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/setupservicevm/4-ipv6-configguide-servicevm.html#add-external-connectivity-to-br-ex>`_.

+
+**SETUP-SVM-6**: Create an external network/subnet ``ext-net`` using the appropriate values based on the
+data-center physical network setup.
+
+Please **NOTE** that you may only need to create the subnet of ``ext-net`` because OPNFV installers
+should have created an external network during installation. You must use the same name of external
+network that installer creates when you create the subnet. For example:
+
+* **Apex** installer: ``external``
+* **Compass** installer: ``ext-net``
+* **Fuel** installer: ``admin_floating_net``
+* **Joid** installer: ``ext-net``
+
+**Please refer to the documentation of installers if there is any issue**

+Boot Service VM (``vRouter``) with ``eth0`` on ``ipv4-int-network2`` and ``eth1`` on ``ipv4-int-network1``
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Let us boot the service VM (``vRouter``) with ``eth0`` interface on ``ipv4-int-network2`` connecting to ``ipv6-router``,
+and ``eth1`` interface on ``ipv4-int-network1`` connecting to ``ipv4-router``.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-19**: Boot the ``vRouter`` using ``Fedora22`` image on the OpenStack Compute Node with hostname

+Boot Two Other VMs in ``ipv4-int-network1``
+-------------------------------------------
+
+In order to verify that the setup is working, let us create two cirros VMs with ``eth1`` interface on the
+``ipv4-int-network1``, i.e., connecting to ``vRouter`` ``eth1`` interface for internal network.
+
+We will have to configure appropriate ``mtu`` on the VMs' interface by taking into account the tunneling
+overhead and any physical switch requirements. If so, push the ``mtu`` to the VM either using ``dhcp``
+options or via ``meta-data``.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-21**: Create VM1 on OpenStack Controller Node with hostname ``opnfv-os-controller``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    nova boot --image cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-uec --flavor m1.tiny \

+    --nic port-id=$(neutron port-list | grep -w eth0-VM2 | awk '{print $2}') \
+    --key-name vRouterKey VM2
+
+**SETUP-SVM-23**: Confirm that both the VMs are successfully booted.

+    nova list
+    nova console-log VM1
+    nova console-log VM2
+
+----------------------------------
+Spawn ``RADVD`` in ``ipv6-router``
+----------------------------------
+
+Let us manually spawn a ``radvd`` daemon inside ``ipv6-router`` namespace to simulate an external router.
+First of all, we will have to identify the ``ipv6-router`` namespace and move to the namespace.
+
+Please **NOTE** that in case of HA (High Availability) deployment model where multiple controller
+nodes are used, ``ipv6-router`` created in step **SETUP-SVM-11** could be in any of the controller
+node. Thus you need to identify in which controller node ``ipv6-router`` is created in order to manually
+spawn ``radvd`` daemon inside the ``ipv6-router`` namespace in steps **SETUP-SVM-24** through
+**SETUP-SVM-30**. The following command in Neutron will display the controller on which the
+``ipv6-router`` is spawned.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    neutron l3-agent-list-hosting-router ipv6-router
+
+Then you login to that controller and execute steps **SETUP-SVM-24**
+through **SETUP-SVM-30**
+
+**SETUP-SVM-24**: identify the ``ipv6-router`` namespace and move to the namespace
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    sudo ip netns exec qrouter-$(neutron router-list | grep -w ipv6-router | \
+    awk '{print $2}') bash
+
+**SETUP-SVM-25**: Upon successful execution of the above command, you will be in the router namespace.
+Now let us configure the IPv6 address on the <qr-xxx> interface.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    export router_interface=$(ip a s | grep -w "global qr-*" | awk '{print $7}')
+    ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:0:1::1 dev $router_interface
+
+**SETUP-SVM-26**: Update the sample file ``/opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/scenario2/radvd.conf``
+with ``$router_interface``.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    cp /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/scenario2/radvd.conf /tmp/radvd.$router_interface.conf
+    sed -i 's/$router_interface/'$router_interface'/g' /tmp/radvd.$router_interface.conf
+
+**SETUP-SVM-27**: Spawn a ``radvd`` daemon to simulate an external router. This ``radvd`` daemon advertises an IPv6
+subnet prefix of ``2001:db8:0:1::/64`` using RA (Router Advertisement) on its $router_interface so that ``eth0``
+interface of ``vRouter`` automatically configures an IPv6 SLAAC address.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $radvd -C /tmp/radvd.$router_interface.conf -p /tmp/br-ex.pid.radvd -m syslog
+
+**SETUP-SVM-28**: Add an IPv6 downstream route pointing to the ``eth0`` interface of vRouter.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ip -6 route add 2001:db8:0:2::/64 via 2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111
+
+**SETUP-SVM-29**: The routing table should now look similar to something shown below.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ip -6 route show
+    2001:db8:0:1::1 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto kernel metric 256
+    2001:db8:0:1::/64 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto kernel metric 256 expires 86384sec
+    2001:db8:0:2::/64 via 2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto ra metric 1024 expires 29sec
+    fe80::/64 dev qg-3736e0c7-7c proto kernel metric 256
+    fe80::/64 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto kernel metric 256
+
+**SETUP-SVM-30**: If all goes well, the IPv6 addresses assigned to the VMs would be as shown as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # vRouter eth0 interface would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111/64
+    # vRouter eth1 interface would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2::1/64
+    # VM1 would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe33:3333/64
+    # VM2 would have the following IPv6 address:
+    #     2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe44:4444/64
+
+--------------------------------
+Testing to Verify Setup Complete
+--------------------------------
+
+Now, let us ``SSH`` to those VMs, e.g. VM1 and / or VM2 and / or vRouter, to confirm that
+it has successfully configured the IPv6 address using ``SLAAC`` with prefix
+``2001:db8:0:2::/64`` from ``vRouter``.
+
+We use ``floatingip`` mechanism to achieve ``SSH``.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-31**: Now we can ``SSH`` to VMs. You can execute the following command.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    # 1. Create a floatingip and associate it with VM1, VM2 and vRouter (to the port id that is passed).

+    # 3. To ssh to the vRouter, VM1 and VM2, user can execute the following command.
+    ssh -i ~/vRouterKey fedora@<floating-ip-of-vRouter>
+    ssh -i ~/vRouterKey cirros@<floating-ip-of-VM1>
+    ssh -i ~/vRouterKey cirros@<floating-ip-of-VM2>
+
+If everything goes well, ``ssh`` will be successful and you will be logged into those VMs.
+Run some commands to verify that IPv6 addresses are configured on ``eth0`` interface.
+
+**SETUP-SVM-32**: Show an IPv6 address with a prefix of ``2001:db8:0:2::/64``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ip address show
+
+**SETUP-SVM-33**: ping some external IPv6 address, e.g. ``ipv6-router``
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    ping6 2001:db8:0:1::1
+
+If the above ping6 command succeeds, it implies that ``vRouter`` was able to successfully forward the IPv6 traffic
+to reach external ``ipv6-router``.

+IPv6 Post Installation Procedures
+*********************************
+
+Congratulations, you have completed the setup of using a service VM to act as an IPv6 vRouter.
+You have validated the setup based on the instruction in previous sections. If you want to further
+test your setup, you can ``ping6`` among ``VM1``, ``VM2``, ``vRouter`` and ``ipv6-router``.
+
+This setup allows further open innovation by any 3rd-party. For more instructions and documentations,
