I have a configuration for a multi-tiered service environment.

Each tier has separate NICs and subnets, and redundant NICs to adjacent tiers.

I don't want the global zone to be reachable by the adjacent tiers, it should only be used for management networks.

  public
   net

 |     |   redundant switches, routers, FWs
 |     |

   web zones

 |     |   redundant switches, routers, FWs
 |     |

   app zones

 |     |   redundant switches, routers, FWs
 |     |

   db


If I deprecate the interfaces, I don't see how routing info gets into the global zone. If I don't deprecate the interfaces, I open up the global zone to that subnet.

I've tried this where my router is a S9 box with RIP, so maybe something else 
would help.

Is my understand right or am I doing something wrong? What is the recommended 
config (high level)?

What I am experiencing is IPMP is flip-flopping interfaces since the GZ's mpathd cant reach the router, and the routing info is not sufficient for the NGZs.

Many thanks!
Steffen
