+## Run the plugin
+
+Firstly, verify the plugin and binary libraries are located correctly, then run the vpp through (service vpp start). Next, run the sysrepo daemon (sysrepod), for debug mode: sysrepo -d -l 4 which runs with high verbosity. Then, run the sysrepo plugin (sysrepo-plugind), for debug mode: sysrep-plugind -d -l 4 which runs with high verbosity. Now, the hicn sysrepo plugin is loaded. Then, run the netopeer2-server which serves as NETCONF server.
+
+## Connect from netopeer2-cli
+
+In order to connect through the netopeer client run the netopeer2-cli. Then, follow these steps:
+
+connect --host XXX --login XXX
+--> get (you can get the configuration and operational data)
+--> get-config (you can get the configuratoin data)
+--> edit-config --target running --config (you can modify the configuration but it needs an xml configuration input. For example,
+<hicn-conf  xmlns="urn:sysrepo:hicn">
+<params>
+    <enable_disable>false</enable_disable>
+    <pit_max_size>-1</pit_max_size>

+    <pit_min_lifetime_sec>-1</pit_min_lifetime_sec>
+</params>
+</hicn-conf>
+)
+--> user-rpc (you can call one of the rpc proposed by hicn model but it needs an xml input, you can pick one in controler_rpcs_instances.xml)
+
+## Connect from OpenDayligh (ODL) controller
+
+In order to connect througt the OpenDaylight follow these procedure:
+
+- run karaf distribution (./opendayligh_installation_folder/bin/karaf)
+- install the required feature list in DOL (feature:install odl-netconf-server odl-netconf-connector odl-restconf-all odl-netconf-topology or
+  odl-netconf-clustered-topology)
+- run a rest client program (e.g., postman or RESTClient)
+- mount the remote netopeer2-server to the OpenDaylight by the following REST API:
+
+PUT http://localhost:8181/restconf/config/network-topology:network-topology/topology/topology-netconf/node/hicn-node
+
+with the following body
+
+ <node xmlns="urn:TBD:params:xml:ns:yang:network-topology">
+   <node-id>hicn-node</node-id>
+   <host xmlns="urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology">Remote_NETCONF_SERVER_IP</host>
+   <port xmlns="urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology">830</port>
+   <username xmlns="urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology">username</username>
+   <password xmlns="urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology">password</password>
+   <tcp-only xmlns="urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology">false</tcp-only>
+   <keepalive-delay xmlns="urn:opendaylight:netconf-node-topology">1</keepalive-delay>
+ </node>
+
+Note that the header files must be set to Content-Type: application/xml, Accept: application/xml. There are more options which can be set but for simplicity we keep a short configuration to mount the remote node.
+
+- send the operation through the following REST API:
+
+POST http://localhost:8181/restconf/operations/network-topology:network-topology/topology/topology-netconf/node/hicn-node/yang-ext:mount/ietf-netconf:edit-config
+
+The body can be used the same as edit-config in netopeer2-cli.
+
+## Connect from Network Services Orchestrator (NSO)
+
+To connect NSO to the netopeer2-server, first, you need to write a NED package for your device. The procudeure to create NED for hicn is explaned in the following:
+
+Place hicn.yang model in a folder called hicn-yang-model, and follow these steps:
+
+- ncs-make-package --netconf-ned ./hicn-yang-model ./hicn-nso
+- cd hicn-nso/src; make
+- ncs-setup --ned-package ./hicn-nso --dest ./hicn-nso-project
+- cd hicn-nso-project
+- ncs
+- ncs_cli -C -u admin
+- configure
+- devices authgroups group authhicn default-map remote-name user_name remote-password password
+- devices device hicn address IP_device port 830 authgroup authhicn device-type netconf
+- state admin-state unlocked
+- commit
+- ssh fetch-host-keys
+
+At this point, we are able to connect to the remote device.
+
+
 ## Release note
 
 The current version is compatible with the 19.01 VPP stable and sysrepo 0.7.7.
