identifies defaults.
Default route Do you want to specify a default route IP
address or let the Oracle Solaris installation
program find one?
The default route provides a bridge that
forwards traffic between two physical
networks. An IP address is a unique
number that identifies each host on a
network.
You have the following choices:
■
You can specify the IP address. An
/etc/defaultrouter
file is created
with the specified IP address. When the
system is rebooted, the specified IP
address becomes the default route.
■
You can let the Oracle Solaris
installation program detect an IP
address. However, the system must be
on a subnet that has a router that
advertises itself by using the ICMP
router discovery protocol. If you are
using the command-line interface, the
software detects an IP address when the
system is booted.
■
You can choose None if you do not
have a router or do not want the
software to detect an IP address at this
time. The software automatically tries
to detect an IP address on reboot.
