5.2.7.8. Connection of zones via external routers using the shared IP instance
[dd/ug] A web server in zone1 is contacted from the internet and needs the application server in
zone2 to fulfill the orders.
•
Zone1 should be connected to the internet through a separate network.
•
The connection from zone1 to zone2 should take place through an external load
balancing router. For reasons of clarity, no additional instances for web and application
servers are contained here.
•
Direct communication between the local zones should not be possible, but rather through the
external router instead.
•
Communication between the global zone and the local zones is not intended.
Implementation:
•
The network interfaces provided for the local zones (bge1, bge2 and bge3) must not
be used elsewhere in the global zone.
•
To prepare for local zones, the interfaces must be plumbed (but not enabled); thereby, the
interfaces receive the address 0.0.0.0:
ifconfig bge1 plumb down
ifconfig bge2 plumb down
ifconfig bge3 plumb down
•
The network configuration of the zones is established by setting the zones to the ready
status.
zoneadm -z zone1 ready
zoneadm -z zone2 ready
The addresses listed in the zone configuration are now active.
(zone1: 192.168.201.1,192.168.200.1 and zone2:192.168.202.1)
•
A default route is specified for communication of the zone zone1 to the internet.
zonecfg:set defrouter=192.168.200.2
In addition, a route is required to the apparent address of zone2 behind the NAT router.
route add 192.168.102.0 192.168.201.2
