So my question is this, why DHCP? If you are trying to assign an IP at
boot time of a zone, you could zonecfg the IP before you boot the zone.
I take it that you have a couple zones that might change IP
occasionally (or frequently). If the zone changes IP as part of a zone
reboot, then

The only supported way to do this today is to use exclusive stack
instance zones (set ip-type = exclusive). It would be nice to have
DHCP supported as an option for
Thanks!
I prefer DHCP since I don't care about the IP address that is assigned
to each zone. But willing to live with static IP as well.
Any guidelines on how to set the IP for each zone ?

Hi James,
Can you explain what is exclusive stack instance mean in this context ?
Will creating zones in a Virtual Box image qualify as that ?

See the ip-type parameter in zonecfg(1M).
Zones can be created using one of two different networking models. In
the default shared model, the zones are just given IP addresses on
links that are
Something like this should do the trick:
host# zonecfg -z my-zone
zonecfg:my-zone remove net physical=e1000g0
zonecfg:my-zone add net
zonecfg:my-zone:net set address=192.168.0.99/24
zonecfg:my-zone:net set physical=e1000g0
zonecfg:my-zone:net end
zonecfg:my-zone commit
zonecfg:my-zone exit
host#
Ok, this is helpful and I'm able to make progress.
I've installed the zone, configured the properties mentioned below and
now booting it. What Name service should I be using ?
I come from Windows/Mac world where all these are defaulted and
typically not required to be configured explicitly :)
Thanks James!
With an exclusive stack instance, the non-global zone is able to
control most of the IP configuration aspects of the interface,
including using DHCP to configure the address. (It's unable to supply
its own kernel modules, though, because there's still only one kernel
image on
Thanks Glenn, this helps in explanation!
For now, I'd like something that is simple and easy to configure. It
seems like static IP address is that route for now.
