TABLE 1 Installation Worksheet
| 
 | 
 | 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 | • Specify One | 
| 
 | or let the Solaris installation program find one? | • Detect One | 
| 
 | The default route provides a bridge that forwards | • None* | 
| 
 | 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  | 
 | 
| 
 | 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 | • Geographic | 
| 
 | zone? | region* | 
| 
 | 
 | • Offset from GM | 
| 
 | 
 | • Time zone file | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| Root password | Choose a root password for the system. |
