Hi,

Can you please explain what do you mean by "lan parameters" that you're trying to set?

You can specify IP & Netmask statically on the interface that you attach the network to on the host.
During the setup networks command you can see a "pencil" button on the network which is on an interface (bond or NIC), click it and then you can see the boot protocol options.
