Re: unplumb

Well in "manpage" terms it tears down the Streams plumbing for the interface name.
So it's tearing down the the lan card name or assignment information.
Deconfiguring...nnnooo. It's still there, so it's not deconfigured. It just lan3 and nothing else.

man ifconfig

Hope that made some sense.
Regards,
Rita

Re: unplumb

It means that the SAPs (ethertypes) for IP and ARP will be unbound from the lan3 interface. It is "disconnecting" IP and ARP from the interface.
