Determine the type of zone that you are currently securing.
# zonename

If the zone is not the global zone, determine if any interfaces are exclusive to the zone:
# dladm show-link

If the output indicates "insufficient privileges" then this requirement is not applicable.

If the zone is the global zone or the non-global zone has exclusive interfaces determine the network settings.

Procedure:
# ndd /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q0

If the returned value is not 1280 or greater, this is a finding.
