To begin identifying this system, press F2.

Press F2 to acknowledge the screens.

10

Network Connectivity

Specify Yes if the system is connected to the network by one of the Solaris or vendor network/communication Ethernet cards that are supported on the

Solaris CD.

See your hardware documentation for the current list of supported cards.

Specify No if the system is connected to a network/communication card that is not supported on the Solaris CD, and follow the instructions listed under Help.

-----------------

[ ] Yes

[X] No

Select No and press F2

13

Enter a Host name for bge0. For example, irv240dev4

14

IP Address for bge0

Enter the Internet Protocol (IP) address for this network interface. It must be unique and follow your site's address conventions, or a system/network failure could result.

IP addresses contain four sets of numbers separated by periods (for example

129.200.9.1).

IP address for bge0 135.27.152.141

Enter an IP address for bge0. For example, irv240dev4
