+## Notes for the exercises in 401
+
+Before connecting to your SSH server, be sure to port forward a local port to the server's port `15672` as well.
+
+These exercises require Rabbit MQ to be started. Before starting the ex401 Grouper container, run:
+
+```
+docker run -d -p 15672:15672 --env RABBITMQ_NODENAME=docker-rabbit --hostname rabbitmq --name=rabbitmq rabbitmq:management
+```
+
+Now browse to http://localhost:15672/ and login with `guest`/`guest`, and create a new queue named `grouper`.
+
+Now start the ex401 Grouper with this slightly modified command:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 389:389 -p 8443:443 -p 3306:3306 \
+  --link rabbitmq:rabbitmq --name gte tier/grouper-training-env:exXXX
+
+```
