TABLE 1 Worksheet for Installation (Continued)

		Your Answers:
		Defaults are noted
Information for Installation	Description or Example	with an asterisk. (*)
Default route	Do you want to specify a default route IP address or let	• Specify One
	the Solaris installation program find one?	• Detect One
	The default route provides a bridge that forwards traffic	• None*
	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.
Time zone	How do you want to specify your default time zone?	• Geographic
		region*
		• Offset from GM
		• Time zone file
Root password	Choose a root password for the system.
