The user is required to provide the IPMI information of the servers
they connect to the Local Controller by editing node JSON sample file
in the directory icn/deploy/metal3/scripts/nodes.json.sample as
-below. This example only shows 2 servers. If you want to increase
-servers, just add another array.
+below. This example only shows 2 servers, statically configured on the
+baremetal network. If you want to increase servers, just add another
+array. If the baremetal network provides a DHCP server with gateway
+and DNS server information, just change the baremetal type to "ipv4".
+ICN provides DHCP servers for the provisioning and bootstrap networks.

#### Creating the Settings Files
#Edge Location Provider Network configuration
#Net A - Provider Network
-#If provider having specific Gateway and DNS server details in the edge location
-#export PROVIDER_NETWORK_GATEWAY="10.10.110.1"
-#export PROVIDER_NETWORK_DNS="8.8.8.8"
+#If provider having specific Gateway and DNS server details in the edge location,
+#supply those values in nodes.json.
#Ironic Metal3 settings for provisioning network
#Interface to which Ironic provision network to be connected
servers. Openstack baremetal node shows all state of the server right
from power, storage.
