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.

• Specify One
• Detect One
• None*

Time zone

How do you want to specify your default time zone?

• Geographic region*
• Offset from GMT
• Time zone file
