We have several zones running on an OmniOS server that use exclusive addressing but in the same subnet at the global zone. These work fine.

We now need to set up a couple of zones that have their own subnet, but talk to the outside world through the global zone. These will need to be network isolated from the existing zones and with access controlled, presumably by ipf/ipnat filtering done in the global zone. I’m having difficulty setting this up. It is readily admitted on the ‘net that Solaris network config is different to anything else, and that it has moved on in stages from the old hosts, hostname etc. files that were so easy back in the 80’s.

Could someone please point me to some documentation that is relevant to OmniOS. We’re not up to r151022 even yet. I can’t tell from what’s out there whether I should be using ipfilter config within svcs, or ipf/ipnat type files or what. Some things say I need an etherstub, others say I don’t. The <zone>.cfg file gives the zone a vmic, but the zone can’t see it, but the zone can use it ???
