Network configuration in FreeBSD

[Bhuvaneswari Ramkumar]

ok down works but delete dosent
I guess the 1st one is for disabling the plip interface and the second for
completely removing it , or let me know if I'm getting this wrong here.

ifconfig: 10ctl(SIOCDIFADDR) : cant assign requested address
is this bcos of the down I did before this command ?

once again, thanks for helping out.

Sincerely,
Bhuvana
