When your machine has at least two interfaces in adding up to lo0, or when your machine has at least one point-to-point interface, it will automatically be set-up as a router. Solaris 2.x: The IP layer will usually act as a router (that is, forwarding datagram’s which are not addressed to it, among another things) whenever the machine has two or more interfaces which are up. This behavior can be overridden by employing ndd(1M) to set the /dev/ip variable, ip_forwarding. The value 0 signifies do not forward; and the value 1 means forward.
