Hello all,

I am still a newb with nwam and ipadm, and recently failed to add an alias ipv4 
interface to an nwam-managed interface (needed to add an address in a specific 
subnet to contact a factory-defaulted device, while the default address is from 
dhcp).

The old "ifconfig addif" said it added the alias but nothing happened. The 
dmesg logs revealed that nwam instantly killed the address it did not set up.

Adding with ipadm also failed for some syntax reason. Maybe the examples from 
internet are obsolete or are for oracle solaris.

Ultimately i created a vnic and ifconfig'ed that. But i'm still curious if a 
"proper" CLI-friendly method exists.

Thanks, Jim
