To prevent
networks from communicating with the global zone, configure the vni0 interface. For an
example, see the Laptop instructions. In the Solaris Express Community Edition, 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.
