slattach creates and removes the device.
It doesn't make much sense to have a slip device alone IMO.

[51]cicely13# kldstat -v | grep sl
                88 if_sl
[52]cicely13# ifconfig sl0
ifconfig: interface sl0 does not exist
Exit 1
[53]cicely13# slattach -l /dev/cuaa0
/var/run/slattach.cuaa0.pid
[54]cicely13# ifconfig sl0
sl0: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 552
[55]cicely13# kill `cat /var/run/slattach.cuaa0.pid`
[56]cicely13# ifconfig sl0
ifconfig: interface sl0 does not exist
Exit 1
