A router provides the interface between two or more networks. You must assign a unique name and IP address to each of the router's physical network interfaces. Each router has a host name and an IP address that are associated with its primary network interface, in addition to a minimum of one more unique name and IP address for each additional network interface. This chapter describes how to configure your Oracle Solaris system as an IPv4 router or an IPv6 router.
This chapter contains the following topics:
