To prevent networks from communicating with the global zone, configure the vni0 interface. For an example, see the Laptop instructions. In the Solaris OS, you do not need to configure the vni0 interface. By default, the lo0 interface is an all-zones interface. You can make your external connection, dhcp, be an all-zones interface.
