Non-Global Zone Routing

807740Jul 5 2005 — edited Jul 5 2005
I have a V20z running a global zone on an IANA private network of 172.30.0.x and nic bge0

I also have a non-global zone on a public IP of 207.246.20.169 and nic bge1.

I am unable to ping from one zone to the next via a gateway. Normally the global zone would use a standard gateway for that network and my public network would also use a standard gateway for that network.

What appears to be happening is that despite what is in my /etc/defaultrouter the zone itself is the gateway.

For example, to ping something from either zone which would require the gateway results in:

ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway 'zone name' (zone ip address)

What I want to happen is that the global zone honors the gateway that is normally used in this network and the non-global zone uses/honors the gateway that is normally used in that network.

It doesn't seem to matter if I have the normal internal gateway in my /etc/defaultrouter or if I have the normal public gateway in /etc/defaultrouter or if I have both in /etc/defaultrouter (all in the global zone of course).

Do I need to use routed to achieve this? Am I missing something here?
