 Introduction
 ============
-
 This document describes how to install and configure Functest in OPNFV.
+The Functest CLI is utilized during the Functest environment preparation
+step. The given example commands should work in both virtual and bare
+metal cases alike.

+on any platform on any Operating System.
 
 The automated mechanisms inside the Functest Docker container will:
 
-  * retrieve OpenStack credentials
-  * prepare the environment according to the SUT
-  * perform the appropriate tests

 This Docker image can be integrated into CI or deployed independently.
 
-Please note that the Functest container has been designed for OPNFV, however, it

 Prerequisites
 =============
-
-The OPNFV deployment is out of the scope of this document but it can be found in
-`[4]`_. The OPNFV platform is considered as the System Under Test (SUT) in this

+The OPNFV platform is considered as the System Under Test (SUT) in this
 document.
 
 Several prerequisites are needed for Functest:
 
     #. A Jumphost to run Functest on
-    #. Docker daemon shall be installed on the Jumphost
+    #. Docker daemon shall be installed on the Jumphost
     #. A public/external network created on the SUT
+    #. An admin/management network created on the SUT
     #. Connectivity from the Jumphost to the SUT public/external network
-    #. Connectivity from the Jumphost to the SUT management network
+    #. Connectivity from the Jumphost to the SUT admin/management network
+
+WARNING: Connectivity from Jumphost is essential and it is of paramount
+importance to make sure it is working before even considering to install
+and run Functest. Make also sure you understand how your networking is
+designed to work.
+
+NOTE: **Jumphost** refers to any server which meets the previous
+requirements. Normally it is the same server from where the OPNFV
+deployment has been triggered previously.
 
-NOTE: “Jumphost” refers to any server which meets the previous requirements.
-Normally it is the same server from where the OPNFV deployment has been
-triggered previously.
+NOTE: If your Jumphost is operating behind a company http proxy and/or
+Firewall, please consult first the section `Proxy Support`_, towards
+the end of this document. The section details some tips/tricks which
+*may* be of help in a proxified environment.
 
 Docker installation
 -------------------
+Docker installation and configuration is only needed to be done once
+through the life cycle of Jumphost.
 
-.. _Ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/
-.. _RHEL: https://docs.docker.com/installation/rhel/
+If your Jumphost is based on Ubuntu, RHEL or CentOS linux, please
+consult the references below for more detailed instructions. The
+commands below are offered as a short reference.
 
-Log on your Jumphost and install docker (e.g. for Ubuntu)::
+*Tip:* For running docker containers behind the proxy, you need first
+some extra configuration which is described in section
+`Docker Installation on CentOS behind http proxy`_. You should follow
+that section before installing the docker engine.
+
+Docker installation needs to be done as root user. You may use other
+userid's to create and run the actual containers later if so desired.
+Log on to your Jumphost as root user and install the Docker Engine
+(e.g. for CentOS family)::
 
  curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
+ systemctl start docker
+
+ *Tip:* If you are working through proxy, please set the https_proxy
+ environment variable first before executing the curl command.
 
 Add your user to docker group to be able to run commands without sudo::
 
  sudo usermod -aG docker <your_user>
 
+A reconnect is needed. There are 2 ways for this:
+    #. Re-login to your account
+    #. su - <username>

-External network on SUT
------------------------
+.. _Ubuntu: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/
+.. _RHEL:   https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/rhel/
+.. _CentOS: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/centos/
 
-Some of the tests against the VIM (Virtual Infrastructure Manager) need an
-existing public network to succeed. This is needed, for example, to create
-floating IPs to access instances from the public network (i.e. Docker container).
+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
-an external network created along with a router. Make sure that subnet
-is reachable from the Jumphost
-
-
-Connectivity to OPNFV management network
-----------------------------------------
-
-Some of the Functest tools need to have access to the OpenStack management
-network of the controllers `[1]`_.
-
-For this reason, an interface shall be configured in the Jumphost in the
-OpenStack management network range.
-
-For example, if the management network is on VLAN 300 and subnet 192.168.1.0/24
-and assuming that eth1 is the physical interface with access to that subnet::
-
-    ip link add name eth1.300 link eth1 type vlan id 300
-    ip link set eth1.300 up
-    ip addr add 192.168.1.66/24 dev eth1.300
-
-This is just an example about how to configure an interface with vlan, but it might
-differ depending on the deployment settings on each installer. Check the
-corresponding installer instructions for more info.
-
+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 Admin/Management network on SUT
+-----------------------------------------------
+Some of the Functest tools need to have access to the OpenStack
+admin/management network of the controllers `[1]`_.
+
+For this reason, check the connectivity from the Jumphost to all the
+controllers in cluster in the OpenStack admin/management network range.
