Chapter 3 Configuring the Preinstalled Solaris 10 Operating System 35
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 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.
