A state of an IP interface is marked `down' if there are no addresses configured 
on that interface or all the configured addresses on the interface is 
administratively marked down (using ipadm down-addr or address was created using 
`-d' switch). So to bring up an IP interface you would have to have at least one 
address that is not administratively down.
