It deletes the address specified, or the first address (in this family) if no address was specified, of the interface. This PR can be closed.

Then it should preserve original netmask, I guess.
Well, if 'ifconfig down delete' doesn't deletes all interfaces' IP,
if there an easy way to perform this task?
If not, I think this command is good candidate.

I'd like to have some more intuitive for non-script work :-) Eugene On Sat, May 25, 2002 at 11:50:18PM +0800, Eugene Grosbein wrote: > Ruslan Ermilov wrote: > > > > > > I have an interface with primary and aliased addresses > > > > > and try to clear them all and take interface down. > > > > > So I type > > > > > > > > > > ifconfig fxp0 down delete > > > > > > > > > > And I see that primary address (with correct netmask) is removed > ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > > > > > but alias (with netmask 255.255.255.255) is still here. > > > > > > > > > It would be very sad if it did. > > > > > > > > `delete' is just another alias for `-alias'.

Suppose you have two IP addresses from different networks bound to an interface. If you delete one address, it just gets deleted.

Right. But suppose you have two IP addresses from the same network
(second with netmask 255.255.255.255).
If you remove primary one (with correct netmask), you end up
with last IP address and netmask 255.255.255.255 that's seem to be wrong.
I guess right netmask should be preserved.

Anyway, we're diverging from the PR's topic. "delete" works as expected, it just deletes the primary address of an interface (if no specific address is supplied).
