In a non-global zone with exclusive-IP of the Solaris Zones, physical interfaces are occupied, and functions of the IP level are available in the same manner as the global zone. In addition, allocated physical interfaces are not available from other zones. To make the network with exclusive-IP configuration highly reliable, install Redundant Line Control function in non-global zones and multiplex physical interfaces allocated in non-global zones. For non-global zones with the exclusive IP configuration, it is possible to perform operations such as interface activation and deactivation, just as with the global zone.
The following example shows a network interface configuration for exclusive-IP configuration of the Solaris Zones.
Figure C.2 Network interface configuration example of Solaris Zones in the exclusive-IP zone
The non-global zone Zone0 is configured by specifying ip-type=exclusive, and physical interfaces fjgi0 and fjgi1 are allocated. Redundant Line Control function works on Zone0 and multiplexes fjgi0 and fjgi1 redundancy the same as the normal system. As for Zone1 and Zone2, Redundant Line Control function works on each zone in the same manner as Zone0 and multiplexes physical interfaces in the same manner as the normal system.
