Hi,

I have been trying to run a dhcp server on an exclusive IP zone. The 
exclusive IP zone I created is running over a vnic.
bash-3.2# dladm show-vnic dhcp1
LINK         OVER         SPEED  MACADDRESS           
MACADDRTYPE         VID
dhcp1        bge0         100    2:8:20:23:68:1f      random              0


In the zone that is running the dhcp-server:
bash-3.2# ifconfig dhcp1
dhcp1: 
flags=201000863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,CoS> mtu 
1500 index 2
    inet 172.0.156.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.0.156.255
    ether 2:8:20:23:68:1f


In order to get the dhcp-server running I did make changes as mentioned 
in this thread:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5236367

Although the dhcp-server is running and the server does see DHCPDISCOVER 
broadcast packet sent by the  dhcp client. It is not assigning a IP 
address. Is it not possible to run a dhcp-server over a VNIC?

Thanks,

Sagun
