The minimum command to create the Functest Docker container can be described as
follows::
docker run -it -e "INSTALLER_IP=10.20.0.2" -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=fuel" opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0 /bin/bash
Optionally, it is possible to precise the container name through the option
---name::
+**--name**::
docker run --name "CONTAINER_NAME" -it -e "INSTALLER_IP=10.20.0.2" -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=fuel" opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0 /bin/bash

The local file will be mounted in the container under
-/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds
+*/home/opnfv/functest/conf/openstack.creds*
If the intention is to run Functest against any of the supported OPNFV scenarios,
it is recommended to include also the environment variable **DEPLOY_SCENARIO**,
-For instance::
+for example::
docker run -it -e "INSTALLER_IP=10.20.0.2" -e "INSTALLER_TYPE=fuel" -e "DEPLOY_SCENARIO=os-odl_l2-nofeature-ha" opnfv/functest:brahmaputra.1.0 /bin/bash
Useful Docker commands
----------------------
-When typing **exit** in the container prompt, this will cause sometimes
-exiting the container and stopping it. When stopping a running Docker container

Some of the tests against the VIM (Virtual Infrastructure Manager) need an

By default, the four OPNFV installers provide a fresh installation with
an external network created along with a router. Make sure that subnet
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
