In R1 the options include:

Rover Pod Site Specific Configuration Input Files

This section contains links to the input files used to build the Rover pods in ATT's and Ericsson's validation labs for the R1 release. Being pods and site specific the enumerated values will differ. Full details of the relevant validation lab setup that should be referenced when looking at these files is contained in the Validation Labs section of this documentation.

Please note, superficially these files may appear very similar but they are all included as examination of the details shows the differences dues to HW differences such as vendor, slot location of NICs as well site specific differences due to VIDs, subnets etc.
