-# OFC'24 - Test scenario
-
-## Start Topology
-Topology is composed of 2 transponders managed through OpenConfig and 2 Multi-granular ROAMDS
-Strat the topology executing the following command:
-```bash
-sudo ./start_topo.sh
-```
-
-## Populate the TFS context and topology
-Pushing the JSON files following the file indexes, i.e, 1, 2, 3, ...
-The last JSON file with ID 7 is the service.
-To check the service is onboarded successfully go into the TFS WebUI and check the `Service` tab.
-
-## Check configuration in devices
-Check if the devices are configured properly.
-To check that, run, for each device (X={1, 2, 3, 4}):
-```bash
-screen -r tX
-```
-To release the terminal, press `Ctrl + A + D`
