Networking Issues

The following networking issues apply to this Oracle Solaris 10 release.

System Domain of Interpretation Is Not Configurable (15283123)

The system Domain of Interpretation (DOI) is not configurable. When the Solaris Management Console is used to create a new trusted network template, the console sets the DOI to 0 and Trusted Extensions does not function correctly. Various error messages are displayed.

Workaround: Set the DOI to 1 by using the Solaris Management Console.

IP Forwarding Is Disabled by Default in the Oracle Solaris 10 OS

In this release, IP forwarding is disabled by default. This setting applies to both IPv4 and IPv6 regardless of other system configurations. Systems with multiple IP interfaces that formerly forwarded IP packets by default no longer have this automatic feature. To enable IP forwarding in multihomed systems, you must manually perform additional configuration steps.

Workaround: The routeadm command enables IP forwarding. The configuration changes that are the result of routeadm usage persist across system reboots.

For more information about IP forwarding, see the routeadm(1M) man page.
