\ No newline at end of file
+## Architecture
+
+### Network
+
+- IPv4 configuration uses DHCP with static MAC binding for easy bring-up
+- IPv6 addresses are manually assigned
+- DNS Zone: prod.k8.eis-mk8.de.s5b.org
+
+|VLAN|IPv4|IPv6|
+|--|--|--|
+|210|10.51.10.0/23|2a13:fc80:1:a::/64|
+
+## How to use
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+#### Secrets handling
+
+Use ``direnv`` package to automatically load the environment variables for a directory and keep the secrets in ``.envrc`` files. For ZSH, add
+
+```shell
+eval "$(direnv hook zsh)"
+``
+
+to your ``.zshrc`` for automatic loading on directory change.
