ONOS User Guide
===============
-Add ONOS specific user guide information here.
-Needs to include OPNFV default ports and addresses and
-references to upstream documentation applicable for an
-OPNFV deployment.
+ONOS is an SDN controller platform developed and released by the
+`ONOS project <https://www.onosproject.org>`_.
+The ONOS controller is installed and configured in OPNFV as the networking
+component of a variety of OPNFV VNFi scenarios.
-From the Jumphost VIP:8282
-karaf/karaf
+ONOS runs within a JVM that is installed in OPNFV within a container and
+integrated with OpenStack. The ONOS instance can be configured through the
+OpenStack Horizon interface, or accessed directly from the OPNFV Jumphost. The
+Brahmaputra release of OPNFV integrates the latest
+`ONOS 1.4 (EMU) <https://wiki.onosproject.org/display/ONOS/Download+packages+and+tutorial+VMs>`_
+release version.
+ONOS references
+---------------
+
+For an overview of the ONOS controller a good reference is the
+`User Guide <https://wiki.onosproject.org/display/ONOS/User's+Guide>`_. For more detailed information
+about the EMU version of ONOS, documentation is available on the
+`ONOS download page <https://wiki.onosproject.org/display/ONOS/Download+packages+and+tutorial+VMs>`_.
+
+Connecting to the ONOS instance
+-------------------------------
+
+Once you are familiar with the ONOS controller and it's configuration
+you will want to connect to the ONOS instance from the Jumphost.
+To do this you should open a browser on the JumpHost to the following address
+and enter the username and password:
+
+ http://{Controller-VIP}:8282/index.html>
+ username: karaf
+ password: karaf
+
+Other methods of interacting with and configuring the controller, like the REST API
+and CLI are also available in the Brahmaputra deployment, see the
+`ONOS User Guide <https://wiki.onosproject.org/display/ONOS/User's+Guide>`_
+for more information on using those interfaces.
+
+It is important to be aware that when working directly on the ONOS controller
+the OpenStack instance will not always be aware of the changes you are making to the
+networking controller. This may result in unrecoverable inconsistencies in your deployment.
