a. Select the active network interface on your server (for example: eth0).

This will enable the network interface used to access the update image. If your server has
multiple network cards, be sure to use the network-connected interface that enables access
to the host where the update image files reside (whether this is the Sun remote update
Internet site, or an internally mounted image on your company intranet).

b. Select the network interface configuration method (DHCP or Static IP).

If static method is selected, provide the necessary information (for example, your server’s IP
address, netmask address, gateway address, and so on).

c. Provide proxy information if an HTTP proxy is needed for Internet access (proxy host and

port for client connections), for example:

Proxy Host: webproxy.mycompany.com

Proxy Port: 8088

d. Click Next to establish a connection to the Sun SIA Remote Update web site.

The remote update process checks for updates to the SIA program (see example below). If
