yes, that's what I refer to as the "wildcard interface" usage. > In that case we should allow it to be effected on all the interfaces, > right? Shouldn't that hold good with 'ndd' too? It's a philosophical argument.. if you define the current ndd global as "value that will stick if no per-interface value is also defined", with ipadm's action as "value that is applied to targetted interface; wildcard == every interface on the system", then the answer is no. It depends on how you want to define it, but keeping the definition simple will make this easier to use and maintain.. where "simple" is subjective. --Sowmini
