The following table describes the questions the configuration wizard prompts you to answer. As noted in the table, the wizard skips some steps based on your answers to previous steps and whether initial settings were specified on the Properties screen for ESXi virtual servers or in the set_keys.ps1 PowerShell script for Hyper-V virtual servers.
Note
Press Ctrl+C to exit the configuration wizard. After the management interface is configured, an administrator can use the configuration jump-start CLI command to run the wizard again.
Step | Response |

Admin password? | Enter a new administrator password. The new password must be from 8–32 characters. You do not need to supply an updated admin password if you supplied one on the Properties screen for ESXi virtual servers or in the NOTE—If you have not changed the admin password, do so now or the administrator will be unable to log in to the server. |
Confirm admin password? | Re-enter the new administrator password, if you supplied one in the previous step. |
Enable remote access for ‘admin’ user? | Enter yes to enable the administrator to log in to the server remotely. Enter no to disable remote access. |
Use DHCP on ether1 interface? | Enter yes to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to configure the server IP address and other network parameters. Enter no to manually configure your IP address and network settings. (If you enter yes, the zeroconf and static IP addressing steps are skipped.) |
Use zeroconf on ether1 interface? | Enter yes to use zero-configuration (zeroconf) networking. Enter no to specify a static IP address and network mask. (If you specify yes, the next step is skipped.) NOTE: Do not use zeroconf on the primary interface. |
Primary IPv4 address and masklen? | Enter the IP address for the management interface in A.B.C.D format and enter the network mask, for example: 1.1.1.2/12. |

(If licenses are downloaded and installed successfully, the wizard skips the step that prompts for the product license key and the step that prompts for the security-content updates key.) |
Sync appliance time with fenet? | Enter yes to synchronize the server time with the DTI server time. If you enabled the licensing service, synchronization prevents a feature from being temporarily unlicensed due to a time gap. The wizard makes three attempts to perform this step before it gives up and moves to the next step. |
