i don;t think this bit of text works well now because you say it runs
ifconfig 3 times then ... respectively. but you only list two things
(even though i understand dynamic config is two). since your text is
already clear, i'd omit ", respectively". or maybe say "inet4 and inet6
dynamic ..." to balance out the three times would be better.
