Hi.
I use Linux as my desktop and run Virtualbox as the hypervisor.
I started playing with lxzones. First, I couldn't login to the Ubuntu
native container. I set the root password and then logged in via the
console. Then I couldn't get the zone to connect to the outside world.
I noticed there were some people having the same problem on ESX.
When I would do a network sniff on the virtualbox host OS, I could see
the arp requests leaving the zone and the reply back.
1 0.000000000 02:08:20:db:c2:c4 → ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ARP 60 Who has
192.168.0.1? Tell 192.168.0.51
2 0.000024439 02:08:20:db:c2:c4 → ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ARP 60 Who has
192.168.0.1? Tell 192.168.0.51
3 0.000547144 1c:ab:c0:b1:cc:a2 → 02:08:20:db:c2:c4 ARP 60 192.168.0.1
is at 1c:ab:c0:b1:cc:a2
The problem was the arp request would never get back to the zone.
To fix the problem:
Set promiscuous mode set to "allow all" on the guest network adapter
On the omnios guest OS, create a bridge and add your guest OS nic to the
bridge.
dladm create-bridge vboxbridge
Add the guest OS nic to the bridge.
dladm add-bridge -l e1000g0 vboxbridge
I pulled some of the information from this post:

They created an etherstub, but I didn't have to get it to work.
