[OpenIndiana-discuss] Some help with ipadm

[Gary Gendel]

I had things configured originally via ifconfig and then unplumbed the 
interface and recreated it using ipadm but after a reboot, things went 
weird on me.  I figure that it's some remnant left over from my original 
manual configuration after disabling nwam years ago.

I created two persistent interfaces using ipadm:
bge0/v4
bge0/v6

what I ended up after reboot was:

# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
lo0/v4            static   ok           127.0.0.1/8
lo0/_a            static   ok           127.0.0.2/32
bge0/?            dhcp     ok           98.221.143.25/21
lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128
bge0/v4        dhcp     disabled     ?
bge0/v6           addrconf disabled     ::

Why did it create bge0/? and why are the persistent addresses I created 
disabled? Also, ipadm delete-addr bge0/v6 says that the object doesn't 
exist if that helps.

I've resorted to removing them manually from ipadm.conf, unplumbing the 
bge0 interface and then recreated them using ipadm again and I'm back to 
where I should be:

# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
lo0/v4            static   ok           0.0.0.6/8
lo0/_a            static   ok           127.0.0.2/32
bge0/v4           dhcp     ok           98.221.143.25/21
lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128
bge0/v6           addrconf ok           fe80::209:3dff:fe13:3a3/10
bge0/v6           addrconf ok 2001:558:6026:8c:44f2:de61:c396:e2f8/128

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary
