After one creates an IP Alias on a solaris box, how can one delete it?
Say you have:

le0 10.10.10.1
le0:0 10.10.10.2

How would you delete the 10:0. Unplumb seems to remove le0 and all of the
associated virtual interfaces, even is one does ifconfig le0:0 -unplumb.
The versions of solaris I am useing are 2.51 and 2.6.

Thanks in advance

I believe you can do a 'ifconfig le0:0 down"

Try "ifconfig le0:0 0 down".

Even better
ifconfig le0:0 down private

The logical interface will stay in existance until the next reboot, but is
effectivly disabled.

Better is:

ifconfig le0:1 0 down

(all but the :0 interface will be removed when the address is set to 0)
