It is also explicitly mentioned in the ifconfig man page for Solaris 2.5. If there is no such thing, then what is the alias in ifconfig? It seems to me that they are the same. Am I missing something? Or am I politically wrong? Please enlighten me since I am not a protocol expert and never went to IETF. Thanks.
