Status - An IP address must be specified for any network interface
for which SYSINFO_DHCP_ENABLE is not set to 1.

SYSINFO_SUBNET_MASK[n]=<hexadecimal or decimal-dot mask>
Default - None

SYSINFO_DHCP_ENABLE is not set to 1.
Value - Subnet mask in hexadecimal or decimal-dot notation (for example, 255.255.255.0)
Additional static parameters for a network interface
In addition to the required SYSINFO_IP_ADDRESS[n] and SYSINFO_SUBNET_MASK[n], the following
parameters may be specified for a statically-configured network interface:
SYSINFO_ROUTE_COUNT[n]=<0 or 1>
Default - None
Status - SYSINFO_ROUTE_COUNT is optional for a network interface.
Value - 0 - SYSINFO_ROUTE_GATEWAY is a local or loopback interface.
1 - SYSINFO_ROUTE_GATEWAY is a remote interface.
SYSINFO_ROUTE_DESTINATION[n]
Default - None
Status - SYSINFO_ROUTE_DESTINATION is optional for a network interface.
Value - The value must be set to "default" for any interface for which DHCP is not enabled.
SYSINFO_ROUTE_GATEWAY[n]
Default - None
Status - The SYSINFO_ROUTE_GATEWAY is optional for a network interface.
Value - Gateway hostname or IP address in decimal-dot notation (e.g., 192.1.2.3)
If the loopback interface, 127.0.0.1, is specified,
SYSINFO_ROUTE_COUNT must be set to 0 for this interface.
Sample system information files
A system information (sysinfo) file that causes the FIRST-BOOT interactive interface to be displayed
consists of the following single line:
SYSINFO_INTERFACTIVE=ALWAYS
A sysinfo file that specifies the hostname and causes a DHCP server to be contacted for configuring a
system with the single network interface with MAC address 0x0017A451E718 consists of the
following lines:
SYSINFO_HOSTNAME=myhost
SYSINFO_MAC_ADDRESS[0]=0x0017A451E718
