 Enabling Remote Access to Created Servers

+Network Creation/Usage for Servers

 When Tempest creates servers for testing, some tests require being able to

 inform Tempest which network to use.
 
+SSH Connection Configuration
+""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
+There are also several different ways to actually establish a connection and
+authenticate/login on the server. After a server is booted with a provided
+network there are still details needed to know how to actually connect to
+the server. The ``validation`` group gathers all the options regarding
+connecting to and remotely accessing the created servers.
+
+To enable remote access to servers, there are 3 options at a minimum that are used:
+
+ #. ``run_validation``
+ #. ``connect_method``
+ #. ``auth_method``
+
+The ``run_validation`` is used to enable or disable ssh connectivity for
+all tests (with the exception of scenario tests which do not have a flag for
+enabling or disabling ssh) To enable ssh connectivity this needs be set to ``true``.
+
+The ``connect_method`` option is used to tell tempest what kind of IP to use for
+establishing a connection to the server. Two methods are available: ``fixed``
+and ``floating``, the later being set by default. If this is set to floating
+tempest will create a floating ip for the server before attempted to connect
+to it. The IP for the floating ip is what is used for the connection.
+
+For the ``auth_method`` option there is currently, only one valid option,
+``keypair``. With this set to ``keypair`` tempest will create an ssh keypair
+and use that for authenticating against the created server.
