Which two options accurately describe the network characteristics of a zone?

A.
DHCP address assignment cannot be configured in a shared IP zone.

B.
Shared IP is the default type of network configuration.

C.
Exclusive IP is the default type of network configuration.

D.
By default, all IP addresses, netmasks, and routes are set by the global zone and cannot be
altered in a non global zone.

E.
IPMP cannot be managed within the non-global zone.

F.
Commands such as snoop and dladm cannot be used on datalinks that are in use by a running
zone.

Explanation:
A: Non-global zones can not utilize DHCP (neither client nor server).
B (not C): By default, non-global zones will be configured with a shared IP functionality. What this
means is that IP layer configuration and state is shared between the zone youre creating and the
global zone. This usually implies both zones being on the same IP subnet for each given NIC.
Note: A zone is a virtual operating system abstraction that provides a protected environment in
which applications run. The applications are protected from each other to provide software fault
isolation. To ease the labor of managing multiple applications and their environments, they co-exist within one operating system instance, and are usually managed as one entity.
The original operating environment, before any zones are created, is also called the “global zone”
to distinguish it from non-global zones, The global zone is the operating system instance.
Incorrect answer:
E: Exclusive-IP zones can use IPMP. IPMP is configured the same way in an exclusive-IP zone as
it is on a system not using zones.
For shared-IP zones, IPMP can be configured in the global zone.
F: Full IP-level functionality is available in an exclusive-IP zone.
An exclusive-IP zone has its own IP-related state.
An exclusive-IP zone is assigned its own set of data-links using the zonecfg command. The zone
is given a data-link name such as xge0, e1000g1, or bge32001, using the physical property of the
net resource. The address property of the net resource is not set.
Note that the assigned data-link enables the snoop command to be used.
The dladm command can be used with the show-linkprop subcommand to show the assignment of
data-links to running exclusive-IP zones.

A and C (default ip-type for NG-zone in SOLARIS 11 is exclusive – “explenation” describing Solaris 10)
