+# Powerstrip mode
+
+Using powerstrip mode of socketplane is simple and easy. If you are not using vagrant run "socketplane install" from the base directory of the socketplane workspace or just run scripts/install.sh to setup everything. If you are using vagrant no other extra steps are required. 
+
+Once socketplane is installed run new containers using the well known docker commands as below example shows:
+
+     sudo DOCKER_HOST=localhost:2375 docker run -itd ubuntu
+
+If you want the containers to connect to different network just add a special environment variable as follows:
+
+     sudo DOCKER_HOST=localhost:2375 docker run -e SP_NETWORK=test -itd ubuntu
+
+The above commands assumes that you have already created a network named "test" using the already existing socketplane commands.
