7.15. Network Configuration
Fedora contains support for both IPv4 and IPv6. However, by default, the installation program configures network interfaces on your computer for IPv4, and to use DHCP via NetworkManager. Currently NetworkManager does not support IPv6. If your network only supports IPv6 you should use system-config-network after installation to configure your network interfaces.
Setup prompts you to supply a host name and domain name for this computer, in the format hostname
.domainname
. Many networks have a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service that automatically supplies connected systems with a domain name, leaving the user to enter a hostname.
To set up a network that is behind an Internet firewall or router, you may want to use hostname
.localdomain
for your Fedora system. If you have more than one computer on this network, you should give each one a separate host name in this domain.
有效的主机名
可以为系统起任何名字,只要完整的名称是唯一的。主机名只能包含字母,数字和连字符。
On some networks, the DHCP provider also provides the name of the computer, or hostname. The complete hostname includes both the name of the machine and the name of the domain of which it is a member, such as
machine1.example.com
. The machine name (or "short hostname") is
machine1
, and the
domain name is
example.com
.
如果您的 Fedora 是直接连接到互联网,您必须格外小心以避免来自上级服务供应商的服务中断或者危险操作。有关这些问题的讨论已经超过了本文档的范围。
Modem Configuration
The installation program does not configure modems. Configure these devices after installation with the Network utility. The settings for your modem are specific to your particular Internet Service Provider (ISP).
7.15.1. Manual configuration
Installations that require certain advanced configurations cannot succeed without network connectivity during the installation process, for example, installations on systems with ISCSI drives. In situations where successful installation depends upon correct network settings, the installation program will present you with a dialog that allows you to confirm these details.
If your network does not have DHCP enabled, or if you need to override the DHCP settings, select the network interface that you plan to use from the Interfaces menu. Clear the checkbox for Use dynamic IP configuration (DHCP). You can now enter an IPv4 address and netmask for this system in the form address
/ netmask
, along with the gateway address and nameserver address for your network.
Click OK to accept these settings and continue.
