Solaris Zones provide the following three types:
Shared-IP zone
Physical interfaces configured on the global zone are shared with non-global zones in this network form. The zone defined as ip-type=shared in the zone configuration information is applied.
Exclusive-IP zone
Physical interfaces, or virtual NICs that were created on the physical interfaces are occupied by specific non-global zones in this network form. The zone defined as ip-type=exclusive in the zone configuration information is applied.
Kernel Zones
Physical interfaces, or virtual NICs that were created on the physical interfaces are occupied by specific non-global zones in this network form. The zone defined that brand is solaris-kz in the zone configuration information is applied.
Information
Either of the following resources can be set in the network interface settings of the exclusive-IP zone and Kernel Zones.
anet resource
When booting a non-global zone, the anet resource automatically creates a temporary VNIC interface for the zone.
When stopping the zone, the anet resource deletes the temporary VNIC interface created as described above.
net resource
The net resource allocates a network interface existing in a global zone, to a non-global zone.
Note
The anet resource can not be used on guest domains of Oracle VM.
