Nadine,

To make it permanent, you need to set it in the config file: /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

You will see something like this:INTERFACE_NAME[0]="lan0"
IP_ADDRESS[0]="120.2.2.12"
SUBNET_MASK[0]="0xffff0000"
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]="130.1.255.255"
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0

Make the appropriate changes and they will carry through restart after restart.

Hi,

You need to make the changes in the file
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf manually - using vi editor.
Or, you can use SAM to do the changes which will update the mentioned file along with changing the currently assigned ip address.

Hi Nadine

Because the configuration has not updated in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

If you are configuring lan using ifconfig command you may need to update netconf file manually (for keeping permenanent)

Configure the lan using SAM ,so it will update the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.
