Description Peter Robinson 2016-07-08 07:41:59 UTC
There's a lot of cases where you might have the device configured with networking as you wish (IE dhcp) but you don't have it connected when initial-setup runs.

Some examples include:
* network not currently available
* want to connect late via some other method than ethernet
* doesn't need networking OOTB
* security process (a lot of companies require an initial config and firewall securing before allowing an initial network connection)

In this case the network configuration is as expected and shouldn't block on networking not being up because the device will function as intended with local user login available over the serial console etc.
