Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH installer] common: options: use more sensible fallback values for network options
Date: Mon,  7 Apr 2025 17:47:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250407154810.1565150-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)

When no DHCP server is configured on the network and/or no DHCP lease
is received, the auto-installer falls back to Ipv4Addr::UNSPECIFIED -
which resolves to `0.0.0.0/0` - for the interface address, gateway and
DNS server. This is then written to /etc/network/interfaces and could
cause further issues after the installation.

At the same time, this also means that no interface name will be set,
which causes the low-level installer to write out an invalid
/etc/network/interfaces entry.
