Default route
Do you want to specify a default route IP address, or
let the 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 installation program detect an IP
address. However, the system must be on a subnet
that has a router that advertises itself by using the
Internet Control Message Protocol (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.
