Configuring Network

The Network WebYaST module allows you to configure the network on the target system. To configure the network, follow these steps:

  1. In the header, select the configuration mode. You can choose between Automatic (if you want to configure the network automatically via DHCP) or Manual configuration. The selected mode is highlighted in green.

  2. To configure the network automatically via DHCP, select the Automatic configuration mode. Enter Hostname, Domain, and deactivate the Change Hostname by DHCP option to ensure a static host name with DHCP.

  3. To configure the network manually, select Manual configuration mode. Under DNS configuration, enter the Hostname, Domain, and specify Name servers and Search domains to use.

    Under IP configuration, enter IP address and Subnet mask/Prefixlen. The prefix should be specified in the CIDR /nn format, where nn is a number between 0 and 32. Specify the Default route.

  4. Click Save.  

Changing IP Address or Hostname

The change in network configuration is done immediately after clicking the Next button. If the hostname or IP address is changed, it may be necessary to change the URL in the browser after activating the changes before you can continue.
