Do you want to configure Kerberos security on this machine? If yes, gather this information:

  • Default realm

  • Administration server

  • First KDC

  • Additional KDCs (optional)
  • Yes

  • No*
Name service
If applicable, which name service should this system use?
  • NIS+

If you specify a proxy credential level in your LDAP profile, gather the following information:

  • Proxy-bind Distinguished Name

Default route
Do you want to specify a default route IP address, or let the OS installation program find one?

The default route provides a bridge that forwards traffic between two physical networks. 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 OS 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) for router discovery. If you are using the command-line interface, the software detects an IP address when the system is booted.

  • You can select 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 GM

  • Time zone file
Root password
Choose a root password for the system.
