*Configure FreewayAutoAddress
Use
This *Command determines whether, after scanning the available network interfaces that could be used, Freeway should automatically pick an IP address if all no suitable interface was found to be configured by other means.
Syntax
*Configure FreewayAutoAddress On|Off
Parameters
| On | Freeway will automatically choose an address |
| Off | Freeway will not automatically choose an address |
Notes
Typically the boot sequence assigns IP addresses to interfaces, but in a discless machine it would be necessary to automatically assign one in order to be able to mount a remote share from which to boot (so the setting would be ‘On’ in this scenario).
The address will be chosen from the 10.x.x.x range reserved for private networks, with the lower 3 octets calculated from a hash of the interface name and its MAC address.
