Chapter 6 Configuring the Preinstalled OpenSolaris Operating System 73
Default route Do you want to specify a default route IP address,
or let the OpenSolaris 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 OpenSolaris 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.
