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. An IP address is a unique number that identifies each host on a network.
You have these 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 ICMP for router discovery. If you are using the CLI, 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 GMT

  • Time zone file

Root password
Choose a root password for the system.
