A simple question about the local zone.
How to make the local zone network interface get a dynamic ipv4 address?
For example, the global zone has one phisical network interface,
e1000g0.
It gets the dynamic ipv4 address from the DHCP server located on another
server.
Does the following make sense?
... ...
zonecfg:my-zone> add net
zonecfg:my-zone> set address=dhcp
zonecfg:my-zone> set physical=e1000g0
zonecfg:my-zone> end
... ...
This doesn't work for me on my system.
The local zone get a address of 192.168.74.200,
while the global address is in the segment of 10.239.*.*
How to get this work?
-------------------------------------
If you're running Solaris 10, you will have to wait for the update
scheduled for later this summer, and then you will need to use an
"exclusive" IP stack in order to get this functionality.
If you are using Solaris Nevada, this is available today-- use
set ip-type=exclusive
in your zonecfg settings and reboot-- you will probably also need
to do some networking config inside the zone. This means that the zone
will have a complete TCP/IP stack all to itself.
--------------------------------------
I use snv_68 32 bits. The zonecfg doesn't support
set ip-type
command.
Which build is this feature available since on?
---------------------------------------
Since Build 57. Are you sure it isn't there? Try this:
zonecfg help set|grep ip
You should get
(global) ip-type
If not, then I'm not sure what is up. The other thing I forgot
to mention is that IP instances needs you to have a physical network
connection (or VLAN) which you can assign to the zone.

IP Instances:

I also realize that this isn't a great answer overall-- that it
would be nice if this "just worked." We'll keep trying to improve
things in this space.
