+-------------
+
+Prerequisites
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Netris plugin is enabled by the 'netris.plugin.enable' setting, which is false by default. It enables the Netris Plugin on CloudStack when it is set to true. The global setting is non-dynamic, that is, the management server would need to be restarted after being modified.
+
+Zone creation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The CloudStack Zone creation wizard is extended:
+
+- A new isolation method is added for the Core zone, with Advanced networking and KVM hypervisor: NETRIS
+
+- When the NETRIS isolation method is selected, new steps are added to the zone creation wizard:
+// TODO: Add image
+
+   - Netris Provider: in this step the administrator must provide:
+      - Netris provider URL along with an internal name for reference
+      - Netris provider credentials to login into the Netris provider
+      - Site name: The Netris Site Name to be linked to
+      - Admin Tenant Name: The name of the Admin Tenant on the Netris provider
+      - Netris tag: A tag to be used on each Netris VNET creation
+
+// TODO: Add image
+
+   - Public traffic and Netris IP Pool: The public traffic is split in two sections.
+      - Public traffic: The first Public IP range defined on this section will be marked for system VMs (and a tag will be displayed accordingly, with the name 'systemvm'). The next Public IP ranges defined on this section will be available for VR Public IPs.
+      - Netris IP Pool: Administrators must provide the Public IP range to be used by VPC operations: Source NAT, Load Balancing, Port Forwarding, Static NAT (this range is marked with the tag 'netris') 
+
+- When a new zone is being created,  CloudStack will check the Public IP ranges defined and will perform the following actions on Netris:
+   - Create an IPAM allocation for the Netris IP Pool range linked to the default VPC.
+   - If an existing IPAM allocation contains the Netris IP Pool provided, then the range must be created as a new IPAM subnet as a child entity of the existing allocation on Netris, with purpose: 'common'. The 'common' subnet purpose allows creating 'nat' and 'load-balancer' child subnets.
+
+..note::
+   Please note CloudStack expects the public IP ranges defined in the same order as the zone wizard creation displays them. The same order must be preserved in case of adding/editing/removing public IP ranges:   
+      - System VM Public Range
+      - VRs Public Range
+      - Netris Public Range
+
+The subsequent steps of zone creation remain unchanged and once the zone is successfully created and enabled, the system VMs come up with IPs from the Public IP Range reserved for System VMs (not the Netris public IP range).      
+
+VPC creation on Netris
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+VPC creation on CloudStack performs the following actions on Netris:
+
+- A new VPC is created for the Admin Tenant provided at the zone creation phase, with the name convention: D<domainID>-A<accountID>-Z<zoneID>-V<vpcID>-<vpcName>, where:
+   - domainID: Internal database ID of the domain
+   - accountID: Internal database ID of the account
+   - zoneID: Internal database ID of the VPC
+   - vpcName: Name of the VPC
+
+- A new IPAM allocation is created for the VPC Guest CIDR, with the following parameters:
+   - Prefix: The VPC CIDR
+   - Name: D<domainID>-A<accountID>-Z<zoneID>-V<vpcID>-<vpcCidr>, where:
+   - vpcCidr: is the CIDR defined for the VPC
+   - VPC: The new VPC created on the step above 
+
+- Source NAT is created for VPC in NAT mode
+
+VPC Tier creation on Netris
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+VPC Tier creation on CloudStack performs the following actions on Netris:
+
+- A new IPAM subnet is created for the VPC Tier, with the following parameters:
+   - Prefix: The VPC Tier CIDR
+   - Name: D<domainID>-A<accountID>-Z<zoneID>-N<networkID>-<vpcTierCidr>, where:
+      - networkID: The internal database ID of the network tier
+      - vpcTierCidr: is the CIDR defined for the VPC Tier
+   - Purpose: 'common'
+   - VPC: The VPC created on the step above 
+
+- A new vNet is created, with the following parameters:
+   - Name: D<domainID>-A<accountID>-Z<zoneID>-N<networkID>-<vpcTierName>, where:
+      - vpcTierName: is the VPC Tier name
+   - VPC: The VPC created on the step above
+   - VXLAN ID: A random VXLAN from the range provided on the zone creation
+   - VLAN ID: Disabled
+   - Tags: The tag set on the zone creation
+   - IP Gateway: The VPC Tier gateway IP, from the subnet created on the step above.
+- ACLs are created on Netris
+
+- The VPC tiers created from the default VPC network offering for Netris – Routed Mode extends the IPAM Subnet creation for the VPC Tier Guest CIDR by setting the parameter:
+   - Global Routing = true. This parameter allows advertising the IPs for the VPC tier (required for Routed mode)
+
+..note::
+Important: Please consider at least one running VM per VPC tier to prevent VPC tier state transit to Allocated state    
+
+
