Create Operating System wizard: IP Addresses page

Use this page to specify the IP addresses to be used for the network interfaces of the operating system instance.

Fields

Port
Port number used by the network interface. The port numbers are defined in the operating system template or provided by the z/VM virtual server. You cannot edit this field.
Interface
Name of a network interface that can be used by the operating system. The interface names are defined in the operating system template or provided by the z/VM virtual server. You cannot edit this field.
IP Address
For each network interface, type the IP address to be used for the interface in the respective field. Be sure to specify a free IP address that corresponds to your existing network configuration. The IP address must be in IPv4 format.

Do not specify a subnet mask. The subnet mask, routing settings, and default gateway settings are inherited from the operating system template. The operating system template, in turn, inherits these settings from the master Linux it is based on.

The IP Address field is separated into four sections according to the dotted-decimal format. You can edit each section separately. Double-click a section to start editing it.

Tip: Double-click the first section to edit it. When you are done with editing a section, press the period (.) key to progress to the next section of the IP address. Press Enter when you have completed the address.
