Does an interface need to be plumb'd for DHCP?
Yes it needs to be.
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
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.
