Default route Do you want to specify a default route IP address or let
the Solaris 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 Solaris 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 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.
