Information for Installation	Description or Example	Defaults (*)

Default route	Do you want to specify a default route IP address,
	or let the 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:

•Specify One

•Detect One

•None*

• 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 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) 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.

	zone?	region*
