Jenkins is an extensible open source Continuous Integration (CI) server. [1]
Linux Foundation (LF) hosts and operates `OPNFV Jenkins <https://build.opnfv.org/ci/>`_.

+Connecting Slaves to OPNFV Jenkins
+==================================
The method that is normally used for connecting slaves to Jenkins requires direct SSH access to servers. [3] This is the method that is used for connecting slaves hosted in LF Lab.
Connecting slaves using direct SSH access can become a challenge given that OPNFV Project has number of different labs provided by community as mentioned in previous section. All these labs have different security requirements which can increase the effort and the time needed for connecting slaves to Jenkins. In order to reduce the effort and the time needed for connecting slaves and streamline the process, it has been decided to connect slaves using `Java Network Launch Protocol (JNLP) <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/deploymentInDepth/jnlp.html>`_.

As noted in corresponding section, slaves from Community Labs are connected using JNLP. Via JNLP, slaves open connection towards Jenkins Master instead of Jenkins Master accessing to them directly.

10. Navigate to OPNFV Jenkins and look for your slave. It should have some executors in “Idle” state if the connection is successful.
11. Once you reach this step, you have the server connection to OPNFV Jenkins completed. You can script the command you used above so the connection between slave and Jenkins can be kept open.

+Notes
+==========
+
+It is important to keep the slave.jar up to date since OPNFV Jenkins version may be updated any time. In order to make sure you are using compatible version of slave.jar, you can download it from https://build.opnfv.org/ci/jnlpJars/slave.jar whenever you reopen the connection towards OPNFV Jenkins. You may experience random disconnects if you do not do this regularly.
