Change IP Address of my server

[sreekanthtm]

Hai all,
I have to change IP Addr: of HPUX server from
192.200.1.8 255.255.255.0 192.200.1.255
to 192.200.1.4 255.255.255.0 192.200.1.255
Iam giving this command
#ifconfig lan0 192.200.1.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.200.1.255
Is this the right way to do it. and what will happen if I restart the server.
If I change the IP Adrs: using set_parms command, will it becomes permanant (remains even after restart)

Regards
Sreekanth

if you using ifconfig, that is temporary solution, so when you restart the server will be back to original IP


set_parms command, its the premanent way to changes your ip address


thanks

hi sreekanth,

better use set_parms

otherwise the changes will not be made permanent.

hope this helps too!

Read the manual page for set_parms.

Some applications write the ip address into their own config files. In this case you will see some problems.

You can do it by hand too:

vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

after it run these commands:
/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start

again, "man set_parms" will answer your questions.

Sreekanthtm,

type set_parms ip_address and just follow the wizard.

hi,

below a snapshot of the first screen you get when using set_parms:

# set_parms ip_address
_____________________________________________________________________________

If you wish networking to operate correctly, you must assign the
system a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. The IP address must:

* Contain 4 numeric components.

* Have a period (.) separating each numeric component.

* Contain numbers between 0 and 255.

For example: 134.32.3.10

Warning: Leading zeros within a component signify an octal number!

Your current address is 192.168.160.9. To retain this address,
just press [Enter].
_______________________________________________________________________________

Enter your IP address, then press [Enter] or press [Enter] to select
the current address (192.168.160.9):



rest is straight forward
