[zones-discuss] problem with zone networking
I'm not sure what the problem is here. I have created a vnic over an existing physical nic as follows: dladm create-vnic -l e1000g0 e1000g1 I then use e1000g1 (the VNIC) as the interface for an exclusive-IP zone. Problem 1: upon rebooting the host e1000g1 is only half there in that it doesn't show up in dladm show-vnic output but if I try dladm create-vnic -l e1000g0 e1000g1 it complains that there is already an e1000g1. Deleting and re-adding the VNIC and everything works fine. Problem 2 (the real problem): after creating the VNIC I can no longer reach my default router. I'm guessing this is due to a routing mis-configuration, but it could just as easily be something else given the strangeness above. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm running OpenSolaris build 126 x64. Thanks Andrew. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Thanks Andrew. OK, problem 1 was fixed by upgrading to build 128a. Problem 2 still exists, although wierdly the zone's networking is fine. The global zone is also fine until I reboot - after that I cannot contact the default router (an ADSL router) or any other machine. The non-global zone can successfully communicate with the ADSL router and the internet.

It is everything else that doesn't work. This suggests to me that it might be some sort of routing problem, but I don't know where to go from here.
