Maybe I read it, but I thought we discussed it at one time.  Any way, when I
bring up the system I will be configuring some TAP interfaces (i.e. TAP0,
TAP1, etc.) before starting the XORP daemon.  Is there a way to tell XORP to
configure PIM and IGMP on its own to read the info and fill in its own
config for these particular interfaces and no others?

Thanks,
John

Was it in the context of implicitly configuring a network interface (inside
XORP) to use whatever IP addresses have been assigned already to that
interface:

interfaces {
    interface rl0 {
        default-system-config
    }
}

In general, you should be able to use "default-system-config" for any
network interfaces.

If no, then please resend me the email so I can refresh my memory.
