+Install and configure compute node
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The compute node handles connectivity and :term:`security groups <security
+group>` for instances.
+
+Install the components
+----------------------
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   # apt-get install neutron-linuxbridge-agent
+
+   Respond to prompts for
+   :doc:`database management <debconf/debconf-dbconfig-common>`
+   (leave it not-configured, as compute nodes do not need database access),
+   :doc:`Identity service credentials <debconf/debconf-keystone-authtoken>`,
+   :doc:`service endpoint registration <debconf/debconf-api-endpoints>`,
+   and :doc:`message broker credentials <debconf/debconf-rabbitmq>`.
+
+.. end
+
+Configure the common component
+------------------------------
+
+The Networking common component configuration includes the
+authentication mechanism, message queue, and plug-in.
+
+.. include:: shared/note_configuration_vary_by_distribution.rst
+
+* Edit the ``/etc/neutron/neutron.conf`` file and complete the following
+  actions:
+
+  * In the ``[database]`` section, comment out any ``connection`` options
+    because compute nodes do not directly access the database.
+
+Configure networking options
+----------------------------
+
+Choose the same networking option that you chose for the controller node to
+configure services specific to it. Afterwards, return here and proceed to
+:ref:`neutron-compute-compute`.

+Finalize installation
+---------------------
+
+#. Restart the Linux bridge agent:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      # service neutron-linuxbridge-agent restart
+
+   .. end
