3.12 Network Configuration
If you do not have a network card, you will not see this screen. Skip ahead to Section 3.13, Firewall
Configuration.
If you have a network card and you have not already configured your networking, you now have the
opportunity (as shown in Figure 3–9, Network Configuration).
If you have multiple devices, you will see a tab for each device. You may switch between devices (for
example, between eth0 and eth1) and the information you provide on each tab will be specific to each
device.
Indicate if you would like to configure your IP address using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol). If you select
Activate on boot, your network interface will be started when you boot. If
you do not have DHCP client access or you are unsure what to provide here, please contact your
network administrator.
Next enter, where applicable, the
IP Address, Netmask, Network, and Broadcast addresses. If you
are unsure about any of these, please contact your network administrator.
