<section id="Prerequisites">
    <title>Prerequisites</title>

    <para>In order to use the MidoNet plugin, the compute hosts must be running the MidoNet Agent, and the MidoNet API server must be available. Please consult the MidoNet User Guide for more information. The following section describes the &PRODUCT; side setup.</para>

    <orderedlist>
      <listitem>
      <para>&PRODUCT; needs to have at least one physical network with the isolation method set to "MIDO". This network should be enabled for the Guest and Public traffic types.</para>
    </listitem>

<listitem>
    <para>Next, we need to set the following &PRODUCT; settings under "Global Settings" in the UI:</para>

<table frame='all'><title>&PRODUCT; settings</title>
<tgroup cols='3' align='left' colsep='1' rowsep='1'>
<thead>
<row>
  <entry>Setting Name</entry>
  <entry>Description</entry>
  <entry>Example</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<tbody>
<row>
  <entry>midonet.apiserver.address</entry>
  <entry>Specify the address at which the Midonet API server can be contacted</entry>
  <entry>http://192.168.1.144:8081/midolmanj-mgmt</entry>
</row>
<row>
  <entry>midonet.providerrouter.id</entry>
  <entry>Specifies the UUID of the Midonet provider router</entry>
  <entry>d7c5e6a3-e2f4-426b-b728-b7ce6a0448e5</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
</listitem>

<listitem>
  <para>
  We also want MidoNet to take care of public traffic, so in <emphasis>componentContext.xml</emphasis> we need to replace this line:

  <programlisting><![CDATA[<bean id="PublicNetworkGuru" class="com.cloud.network.guru.PublicNetworkGuru">]]>
  </programlisting>

  With this:

  <programlisting><![CDATA[<bean id="PublicNetworkGuru" class="com.cloud.network.guru.MidoNetPublicNetworkGuru">]]>
  </programlisting>
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>

    <note>
	    <para>
	    On the compute host, MidoNet takes advantage of per-traffic type VIF driver support in &PRODUCT; KVM.
		</para>
		<para>
	    In agent.properties, we set the following to make MidoNet take care of Guest and Public traffic:

<programlisting>libvirt.vif.driver.Guest=com.cloud.network.resource.MidoNetVifDriver
libvirt.vif.driver.Public=com.cloud.network.resource.MidoNetVifDriver</programlisting>

		This is explained further in MidoNet User Guide.
	    </para>
