Configuration Worksheet

Gather the following information, and have it ready for when you begin the configuration process. You need to collect only the information that applies to your organization and network environment.

Required Installation Information

Network connection
Is the system connected to a network?
  • Networked
  • Non-networked*

DHCP
Can the system use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure its network interfaces?
  • Yes
  • No*

If you are not using DHCP, supply the network information
Supply a static IP address for the system.
Supply the netmask of the subnet.
255.255.0.0*
Enable IPv6 on this machine?
  • Yes
  • No*

Host name
Choose a host name for the system.
Kerberos
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+
  • NIS

  • DNS

  • LDAP

  • None*

Provide the name of the domain in which the system resides.
If you chose NIS+ or NIS, do you want to specify a name server, or let the installation program find one?
  • Specify one
  • Find one*

If you chose LDAP, provide the following information about your LDAP profile:
  • Profile name

  • Profile server

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

  • Proxy-bind Distinguished Name

  • Proxy-bind password

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.
