Non-Global Zones Now Installed With Limited Networking Configuration

A non-global zone is now installed with limited networking configuration (generic_limited_net.xml). This means, for example, that only the ssh login is enabled by default, and logins through rlogin and telnet must be added if needed.

The administrator can switch the zone to the open, traditional networking configuration (generic_open.xml) by using the netservices command, or enable and disable specific services by using the Service Management Facility (SMF) commands.

For more information about network configuration types, see Chapter 15, “Managing Services (Tasks)” in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration

For more information about the procedure to switch a non-global zone to a different network service configuration see, Chapter 22, “Logging In to Non-Global Zones (Tasks)” in System Administration Guide: Virtualization Using the Solaris Operating System
