But interface plumbing is irrelevant to this discussion, which is about the administrative objects and how the administrator interacts with them, and not the underlying implementation. The administrator doesn't care about when the interface gets plumbed as long as DHCP obtains a lease and configures an address. So, for example: ipadm create-interface net0 ipadm add-address -f inet -a type=dhcp net0 Everything that the administrator wants is implied above, and I didn't specify a redundant "-f inet" in the "create-interface" subcommand. However this gets implemented under the hood is up to ipadm. If DHCP needs to "plumb" something, then great. -Seb
