For dumpxml <interface>, check rc.conf (which may or may

whatever you can find regarding that interface.
for example, my rc.conf has following entry:
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"
What should be the o/p of "dumpxml em0" ?
Is that the only information pertaining to the configuration of the
interface? If so, then it would be something like:
<interface type='ethernet' name='em0'>
<start mode='onboot'/>
<protocol family='ipv4'>
<dhcp peerdns='yes'/>
</protocol>
</interface>
I'm making the assumption here that the presence of the
"ifconfig_em0" line in /etc/rc.conf implies the interface will be
started when the system boots (looking back at the backups of my old
NetBSD system config, it looks like that is actually controlled by
the presence of the interface name in the "network_interfaces"
variable, but FreeBSD may be different). I'm also making the
assumption that, by default, the dhclient setup on FreeBSD accepts
the DNS server info from the dhcp server and puts it into
/etc/resolv.conf (that's the meaning of "peerdns='yes'").
