 ==== !MobilityFirst ORBIT Image ====
 
-The complete set of components from the latest release of the !MobilityFirst software is available as a compressed image within the ORBIT testbed for imaging nodes using the 'OMF' tool. The current pre-prepared image is built over Ubuntu 12.04 LTS distribution and will be moved to newer distributions as they become available and we have had a chance to test compatibility.

The current pre-prepared image is built over Ubuntu 14.04 LTS distribution and will be moved to newer distributions as they become available and we have had a chance to test compatibility. This tutorial image is made under the assumption that a fixed set of VLANs is used for topology creation and will need to be modified for different execution environments.

+===== Configuring the topology =====
+
+====== Configure VLAN interfaces on the nodes ======
+
+On all nodes prepare '''/etc/network/interfaces''' and add VLAN based interfaces based on your group. The file should look like this:
+
+{{{
+auto eth0.1XX1
+iface eth0.1XX1 inet static
+
+auto eth0.1XX2
+iface eth0.1XX2 inet static
+
+auto eth0.1XX3
+iface eth0.1XX3 inet static
+}}}
+
+where XX is your group number (i.e. 01,02,03,..).
+
+====== Configure MF components to use appropriate VLANs ======
+
+The assumption is that the routers will be using VLAN 1XX1, and clients VLANs 1XX2 and 1XX3.
+Edit file '''/usr/local/src/mobilityfirst/eval/orbit/tutorial/conf/hoststack2.conf''' on all four nodes to assign appropriate VLANs based on the instructions from the script.
