However 'ifconfig -a' showed the same number of interfaces ep0, tun0, lp0, sl0, and lo0. Various other permutations of parameters like 'ifconfig ep0:1' didn't show the new address. The man page doesn't say anything about querying the status and information about aliases interfaces. How do I show this information? Which FM should I R?
