SUMMARY: Dhcp server in Solaris 8 container

Al,

The answer is to make the port available to the non global zone exclusively.
Set ip-type=exclusive.

Dhcp on the non global zone then works just fine.

Thanks to:
Rob De Langhe & Matthew Stier for pointing me in the right direction.

Regards

Scott

Subject: Dhcp server in Solaris 8 container

Hi all,

We have a legacy system running Solaris 8 that we have ported into a solaris
8
container. The server has always been a dhcp server however within the zone
it
fails to start with a message - Error discovering number of network
interfaces: no such device or address.

Is what I am trying to do supported? Or will I need to try and move the dhcp
serving to the Global zone?

Regards
