Distribution Channel Mapping

The Distribution Channel Mapping page displays a list of all your defined default base channels that clients will pick up according to their operating system and architecture at registration time. These mappings can be overriden, but cannot be deleted. To create such a mapping click Create Distribution Channel Mapping in the upper-right corner. Several columns provide information for each mapping.

Using Distribution Channel Mapping

For SUSE Linux Enterprise or Red Hat Enterprise Linux SUSE does not use the Distribution Channel Mapping feature. It can be used for other products (for example, for free products such as openSUSE, Fedora, Oracle Linux, etc.). It can help when letting clients pick up base channels automatically.
