32+ ### Getting remote access to host during installation
33+
34+ While for simple problems access through the console as described
35+ above can be sufficient, it can be necessary to collect the full
36+ install log, kernel log and such large amount of data, which is quite
37+ impractical unless you can just copy the files.
38+
39+ To enable ssh/scp access during installation, you can request on the
40+ linux kernel command line the activation of the network, and enabling
41+ of sshd service with a root password of your choice. For the common
42+ case of setting up the network with DHCP, add the following to the
43+ linux boot parameters:
44+
45+ ```
46+ network_device=all sshpassword=YOURCHOICE
47+ ```
48+
49+ You may select an alternative setup using ` network_config ` (which
50+ defaults to ` dhcp ` ). Its usage summary is as follows (values you need
51+ to provide are the ones in capital, brackets denote optional
52+ parameters:
53+
54+ ```
55+ network_config=dhcp[:vlan=VLAN]
56+ network_config=static:ip=IP;netmask=NETMASK[;gateway=GW][;dns=DNS1[,DNS2]][;domain=DOMAIN][;vlan=VLAN]
57+ ```
58+
59+ Note you can specify an interface name such as ` eth1 ` instead of ` all `
60+ if necessary, which can be useful when you need to setup a static IP
61+ address.
