Description

As per routeadm, a system that does not have an /etc/defaultrouter file will default to enabling ipv4-routing. This causes in.routed to run and accept RIP routes from the network.

While this configuration may have made sense in the past, it more than likely gets in the way today. One example is, if you configure an interface with DHCP, you're going to get a default route -- but routing is still enabled because a static default route has not been provided. The operator should have to explicitly enable the dynamic routing facility if that's what they want.

If you see log messages like:

Aug  6 13:16:56 vulcan in.routed[502]: route 0.0.0.0/24 --> 0.0.0.0 nexthop is not directly connected

It's likely because of this. You can disable dynamic routing explicitly via:

# routeadm -d ipv4-routing -u

if network/routing would be removed from the server minimal group,

then you could actually request the opposite : you could request that ipv4-routing is immediately and by default enabled ,
when doing a pkg install routing which would install the routing daemons and immediately enable them.

for example at the SMF level

<instance name='default' enabled='false' >

could be changed to 

<instance name='default' enabled='true' >

for route.xml IF network/routing is removed from the minimal group and installed by the user specifically when they want route:default
