Associating Network Interfaces With Zones by Using CDE Actions (Task Map)

Do only one of the following tasks. For the trade-offs, see Planning for Multilevel Access.

Task

Description

For Instructions

Share a logical interface.

Map the global zone to one IP address, and map the labeled zones to a different IP address.

Specify Two IP Addresses for the System by Using a CDE Action

Share a physical interface.

Map all zones to one IP address.

Specify One IP Address for the System by Using a CDE Action

Specify Two IP Addresses for the System by Using a CDE Action

In this configuration, the host's address applies only to the global zone. Labeled zones share a second IP address with the global zone.

Before You Begin

You are superuser in the global zone. The system has already been assigned two IP addresses. You are in a Trusted CDE workspace.

  1. Navigate to the Trusted_Extensions folder.
    1. Click mouse button 3 on the background.
    2. From the Workspace menu, choose Applications → Application Manager.
    3. Double-click the Trusted_Extensions folder icon.

      This folder contains actions that set up interfaces, LDAP clients, and labeled zones.

  2. Double-click the Share Logical Interface action and answer the prompts.

    Note - The system must already have been assigned two IP addresses. For this action, provide the second address and a host name for that address. The second address is the shared address.


    Hostname:   Type the name for your labeled zones interface
    IP Address: Type the IP address for the interface

    This action configures a host with more than one IP address. The IP address for the global zone is the name of the host. The IP address for a labeled zone has a different host name. In addition, the IP address for the labeled zones is shared with the global zone. When this configuration is used, labeled zones are able to reach a network printer.


    Tip - Use a standard naming convention for labeled zones. For example, add -zones to the host name.


  3. (Optional) In a terminal window, verify the results of the action.
    # ifconfig -a

    For example, the following output shows a shared logical interface, hme0:3 on network interface 192.168.0.12 for the labeled zones. The hme0 interface is the unique IP address of the global zone.

     lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
             inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 
             ether 0:0:00:00:00:0
     hme0: flags=1000843<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
             inet 192.168.0.11 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
     hme0:3 flags=1000843<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
             all-zones
             inet 192.168.0.12 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 192.168.0.255

Specify One IP Address for the System by Using a CDE Action

In this configuration, the host's address applies to all the zones, including the labeled zones.

Before You Begin

You are superuser in the global zone. You are in a Trusted CDE workspace.

  1. Navigate to the Trusted_Extensions folder.
    1. Click mouse button 3 on the background.
    2. From the Workspace menu, choose Applications → Application Manager.
    3. Double-click the Trusted_Extensions folder icon.

      This folder contains actions that set up interfaces, LDAP clients, and labeled zones.

  2. Double-click the Share Physical Interface action.

    This action configures a host with one IP address. The global zone does not have a unique address. This system cannot be used as a multilevel print server or NFS server.

  3. (Optional) In a terminal window, verify the results of the action.
    # ifconfig -a

    The Share Physical Interface action configures all zones to have logical NICs. These logical NICs share a single physical NIC in the global zone.

    For example, the following output shows the shared physical interface, hme0 on network interface 192.168.0.11 for all the zones.

    lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
           inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
           ether 0:0:00:00:00:0
    hme0: flags=1000843<BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
           all-zones
           inet 192.168.0.11 netmask fffffe00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
