>Description:
When DHCP server is down, manually configured rl0 to an IP -- 192.168.0.10 --
for temporarily use.
As DHCP came back and assigned another IP on the rl0, now NIC is down
due to two conflict IP addresses.
rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 00:40:f4:d1:23:9a
inet 192.168.0.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet 10.10.50.126 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.10.50.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
plip0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
DHCP should work as ifconfig to replace the old IP with new IP, not set
additional IP on an interface.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure an interface (say rl0) to use DHCP.
Boot machine with network Ethernet cable unplugged.
After machine boot up, ifconfig rl0 to some IP not in DHCP range.
Plug in Ethernet cable and wait for a while to let DHCP active.
You will see two IPs on the Ethernet interface.
