Set Strict Multihoming – ipv6

Details

These settings control whether a packet arriving on a non-forwarding interface can be

accepted for an IP address that is not explicitly configured on that interface.

Rationale:

Enable this setting for systems that have interfaces that cross strict networking domains

(for example, a firewall or a VPN node).

Solution

To enforce this setting for IPv4 packets, use the command:

# ipadm set-prop -p _strict_dst_multihoming=1 ipv4

To enforce this setting for IPv6 packets, use the command:

# ipadm set-prop -p _strict_dst_multihoming=1 ipv6
