+Fuel Master Node network requirements
+-------------------------------------
+
+To deploy the Fuel Slave nodes on which you will run your Controller,
+Compute, Storage or other nodes, the Fuel Master node must have access to the
+Internet.
+
+When you deploy the Fuel Slave nodes, the Fuel Master node connects to the
+preconfigured repositories through the Internet and installs the selected
+operating system and the OpenStack packages on the nodes.
+
+For security reasons, you may not want to connect the Fuel Master node to
+the Internet. In this case, set up a local repository with the required
+installation packages and configure these repositories on the Fuel Master
+node.
