Solaris 8 Installation Supplement

Preconfiguring the Default Router With the sysidcfg File

This section supplements “Guidelines for Preconfiguring With the sysidcfg File” in Solaris 8 Advanced Installation Guide.

The sysidcfg file preconfigures system identification information through a set of keywords that specify information you want to preconfigure. The default_route parameter for the network_interface keyword allows the specification of a default router during the Solaris installation. The new parameter is described in Table 2–1.

Table 2–1 network_interface Keyword

Configuration Information 

Platform 

Keywords 

Where to Find Values/Example 

Network interface, host name, default router, Internet Protocol (IP) address, netmask, DHCP, IPv6 

All 

network_interface=NONE, PRIMARY, or value

  
    If DHCP is to be used, specify: {dhcp protocol_ipv6=yes_or_no}

network_interface=primary {dhcp protocol_ipv6=yes}

    If DHCP is not to be used, specify: {hostname=host_name default_route=ip_address ip_address=ip_address netmask=netmask protocol_ipv6=yes_or_no}

network_interface=le0 {hostname=feron default_route=129.146.88.1 ip_address=129.146.88.210 netmask=255.255.0.0 protocol_ipv6=no}

Note –

Choose only one value for network_interface. Include any combination or none of the hostname, ip_address, and netmask keywords, as needed. If you do not use any of these keywords, omit the curly braces ({}).

Note –

If DHCP is not to be used, you do not need to specify protocol_ipv6 and default_route. If the software cannot autodetect a default router, the Web Start 3.0 installation software prompts you to specify one.
