Form: Product-Specific Prerequiste Checks
I ignored the "DHCP" Warning.
1 requirements to be verified
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned public IP addresses. However, the primary network interface on the system should be configured with a static IP address in order for the Oracle Software to function properly. See the Installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP.
