Sample Network Parms File - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER STARTER SYSTEM Installation Manual

# NETWORK PARMS
#
# Network parameter file for the NOVSTART installation server
# Lines beginning with "#" are comments; other lines are
# key=value pairs
#
# If you have a layer 2 VSWITCH and a functioning DHCP server,
# you can remove the # from column 1 of the following lines and
# have a working configuration.
#
#LAYER2=Y
#DHCP=Y
#
# Otherwise: IPADDR, NETWORK, NETMASK and BROADCAST are your basic
# IP address parameters. Check with your local network administrator
# to determine what these values should contain.
#
# IPADDR is the IP address of the starter system.
#
# NETMASK is the network mask used on this network.
#
# GATEWAY is the IP address of the router between your local network
# and the rest of the world
#
# NAMESERVER is the IP address of your nameserver (if any)
#
# FQDN is your install server's fully-qualified host name
#
# LAYER2 indicates whether the VSWITCH is in layer 2 or layer 3 mode.
# If you are using a guest LAN, LAYER2 should always be N.
#
# DHCP indicates whether the guest should attempt to use DHCP to
# obtain network information. Requires LAYER2=Y and a layer 2
# VSWITCH to work.
#
