+Setup Requirements
+==================
+
+Network Requirements
+--------------------
+
+Minimum 2 Networks:
+
+- One for the administrative network with gateway to access the Internet
+- One for the OpenStack public network to access OpenStack instances via
+ floating IPs
+
+JOID supports multiple isolated networks for data as well as storage based on
+your network requirement for OpenStack.
+
+No DHCP server should be up and configured. Configure gateways only on eth0 and
+eth1 networks to access the network outside your lab.
+

+
+The Jumphost requirements are outlined below:
+
+- OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server
+- Root access.
+- CPU cores: 16
+- Memory: 32GB
+- Hard Disk: 1× (min. 250 GB)
+- NIC: eth0 (admin, management), eth1 (external connectivity)
+
+Physical nodes requirements (bare metal deployment)
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Besides Jumphost, a minimum of 5 physical servers for bare metal environment.
+
+- CPU cores: 16
+- Memory: 32GB
+- Hard Disk: 2× (500GB) prefer SSD
+- NIC: eth0 (Admin, Management), eth1 (external network)
