           Summary: TapBridge::CreateTap () requires IP and Mac addresses
                    in modes other than CONFIGURE_LOCAL
           Product: ns-3
           Version: ns-3-dev
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4

CreateTap () method tries to get IP address and Mac address from underlying
NetDevice.
If IP address is not assigned to the underlying NetDevice, CreateTap () will
die even if that IP address is not really required (not in CONFIGURE_LOCAL
mode).

Currently it is possible to create a tap bridge only for an interface with an
IP address.

Although it's always possible to assign address to all interfaces, it may be
rather difficult to introduce additional stub IP subnets in complex topologies.
