Correct. After executing the above command if the user runs 'ifconfig', then I would presume there wouldn't be any output for net0. It's the world where you have both 'ipadm' and 'ifconfig', and the user using both of them interchangeably scares us. > ipadm add-address -f inet -a type=dhcp net0 > 'ifconfig' would show output for 'net0' only after above command is executed. ~Girish -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
