Installation guide

The installation program automatically detects any network devices you have and displays them in
the Network Devices list.
When you have selected a network device, click Edit. From the Edit Interface dialog, you can
choose to configure the IP address and Netmask (for IPv4 - Prefix for IPv6) of the device to use DHCP
or to use static settings. If you do not have DHCP client access or you are unsure what to provide
here, contact your network administrator.
Note
DHCP should not be chosen for qdio/qeth devices that are configured with OSA layer 3
support. Layer 3 does not provide MAC address or Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
abilities and so can not be used with network services that require them.
