When we execute the following commands,

# ipadm create-if bge0
# ipadm create-addr -i bge0 10.1.2.3/24

Since this is the first time an address is configured on bge0,
option 1) Should the address be created on the 0th logical interface, or
option 2) Should create-addr always add a new logical interface?

If we follow 2, then the 0th logical interface will always have a 0.0.0.0 address. Does this have any consequences? If we need to have an address on the 0th logical interface, we could add a new ioctl to set the address on it if there are no other addresses on the same interface.

I will appreciate the comments.

Thanks
