Delete current IP address:

# ifconfig [your_interface] 0.0.0.0

Delete default route (if needed):

# route delete default [your_gw_ip]

Edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and change old IP to new one (and GW if needed)

Restart networking:

# /sbin/init.d/net start

Edit /etc/hosts and change old IP to new one
Restart swagentd servise:

# /sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
# /sbin/init.d/swagentd start

Just a remark - you should do these operations from management console, of course

Hi,

This depends on which operating system release you are using of 11iv3 because SMH behaves a little differently on these updated releases.It's all about updating the necessary databases when you are executing a task on SMH . Remember ifconfig only temp changes IP address. Everything depends on the variables in the netconf file if reboot is considered. Strangely there are docs that say that SMH updates all the databases!! Who vouches for this?? If someone has more info about this it would be the perfect answer for you david.
