instl_adm(4) instl_adm(4)

is_net_info_temporary keyword. If the final keyword is speciﬁed, the information is applied

to the ﬁnal system, and overrides any temporary information that was used during the installation. Note

that instl_adm may be used to set some of these temporary values with command line options. The

keywords recognized for this are:

[final] system_name = cplx_string

Sets the client’s hostname and uname value to cplx_string.

[final] dhcp_enable = boolean

[final] dhcp_enable[lan_dev] = boolean

When set to true, dhcp_enable will cause the system to be conﬁgured to obtain networking

parameters for the speciﬁed LAN interface using the DHCP protocol. When set to true, there is

no need to specify other networking parameters (if DHCP supplies them). dhcp_enable is

false by default. The dhcp_enable keyword can be speciﬁed for each LAN interface on

the system by using the [lan_dev] syntax. When the lan_dev is not speciﬁed, only the default lan

interface will be enabled (or disabled). The disable_dhcp keyword (when set to true) over-

rides the dhcp_enable keyword.

[final] ip_addr = cplx_string

[final] ip_addr[lan_dev] = cplx_string

Sets the client’s default IP address to cplx_string. If the IP address is to be used on a speciﬁc LAN

device other than the default, lan_dev may be speciﬁed within square brackets. lan_dev may be

either a string representing the interface name, "lan0" for example, or it may be the hardware path

to the LAN device, 2/0/2 for example.

[final] netmask = cplx_string

[final] netmask[lan_dev] = cplx_string

Sets the client’s default netmask, as used by ifconﬁg(1M), to cplx_string. lan_dev may be used to

specify to which LAN interface is applicable.

[final] broadcast_addr = cplx_string

[final] broadcast_addr [lan_dev] = cplx_string

Sets the broadcast address for the speciﬁed LAN device.

dhcp_class_id = cplx_string

dhcp_class_id [lan_dev] = cplx_string

Sets the class ID that is used when trying to obtain information for the speciﬁed LAN interface

from a DHCP server. Specifying a dhcp_class_id limits the responses from DHCP servers

to those that have information for the same class that is speciﬁed. This is used to isolate clients

into different classes. Using the dhcp_class_id is especially useful when temporary IP

addresses to be used for installs come from a different server than addresses used by other systems

on the network. The dhcp_server keyword may also be used for this purpose.

dhcp_server = cplx_string

dhcp_server [lan_dev] = cplx_string

Speciﬁes the DHCP server from which the internet address lease should be obtained. Specifying

the server prevents the client from accepting offers from any other server on the network. Nor-

mally this is not set and the client is allowed to accept any offer.

dhcp_misc_opts = cplx_string

dhcp_misc_opts [lan_dev] = cplx_string

Can be used to specify miscellaneous options to the dhcpclient command when it is used to

obtain the IP address lease. Common options speciﬁed with this keyword are -G and -l. The

-G option may be used in conjunction with the dhcp_class_id, which causes the dhcp-

client command to refuse any offers from servers that do not supply the matching class ID

string in their reply offer. Normally servers that do not have the same class ID do not respond;

however, some vendor’s implementations do respond, thus the -G option may be used to force ﬁl-

tering of these replies on the client side. The -G option only works with DHCP servers that sup-

ply the class ID in their response. Servers known to supply the class ID are HP-UX B.11.11 and
