Thanks to all replied. And the answer from Darren Dunham is exactly what I
am looking for.
Answer:
-------------------------------------------------
Sol 7 and below.
plumb/unplumb only refer to the main device.
ifconfig an address to use the virtual interface
ifconfig the address 0 and down to kill the virtual interface.
Sol 8 and above.
Virtual interfaces now act more like real interfaces.
Must plumb/unplumb to appear/disappear.
unplumbing a virtual does not affect the base
---------------------------------------------------
Original question:
--------------------------------------------------
Has anyone experienced this with solaris 7 before?
hme0 is a working interface.
"ifconfig hme0:1 plumb" to plumb the virtual interface,
but "ifconfig -a" doesn't show hme0:1 device
"ifconfig hme0:1 unplumb" brings down the working hme0 as well.
