FWIW here are the IPv4 lines from a rc.conf(5) created by the 13.3-R installer choosing DHCP: 2024-08-30 15:01:46 dpchrist@vf2 ~ $ cat /etc/rc.conf | egrep 'hostname|ifconfig' hostname="vf2.tracy.holgerdanske.com" ifconfig_em0="DHCP" And, a multi-homed host with static IPv4 created by hand: 2024-08-30 15:02:54 toor@f5 ~ # cat /etc/rc.conf | egrep '^(defaultrouter|hostname|ifconfig)' | grep -v ipv6 defaultrouter="192.168.5.1" hostname="f5.tracy.holgerdanske.com" ifconfig_igb0="inet 192.168.5.15 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_igb0_alias0="inet 192.168.5.23 netmask 255.255.255.255" ifconfig_igb0_alias1="inet 192.168.5.24 netmask 255.255.255.255" David
