Hi

simple go to /etc put new IP address in hosts file instead of old.

go to /etc/rc.config.d and put new gateway IP in netconf

shutdown system , move to new location and reboot.

good luck
John.

Hi

also check you dont have the IP address instead of the hostname at the bottom of the /var/adm/inetd.sec file as this will stop it from booting properly.

cheers
John.

Hi,
Just follow the steps below :

#cd /etc/rc.config.d
# vi netconf and edit following lines in this file.

INTERFACE_NAME[0]="lan0"
IP_ADDRESS[0]="10.2.0.33"
SUBNET_MASK[0]="0xfffffe00"
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[0]="10.2.1.255"
INTERFACE_STATE[0]=""
DHCP_ENABLE[0]=0

Put repective values for IP and Subnets etc....and save the file.

1. edit /etc/hosts file and add your new IP address and hostname entry in that file.

Then reboot the machine or do following of you do not want to reboot it

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


Thanks,

After you reboot with the new IP address. do a
netstat -in
this will tell you the curreny IP address assigned to the LAN card.

Don't forget that if your network uses DNS (or NIS) to inform the admins of the change.

You can also use:

#set_parms ip_address

to change your IP.

The above manual steps will work,but

set_parms ip_address may be safer.

You still will need to make any changes to your host or dns entry. If you don't use dns and other servers talk to this machine, the remote host file will need changed.

Raghuram,

It might be cleaner/easier ( if you are not familiar with the system ) to go into Sam, Networking and Communications.

Then select "Internet Addresses" to update the host file.

Then select "Network Interface Cards" to change the IP address on your NIC. This updates /etc/rc.config.d/netconf.

HTH,
Tom

Try this


set_parms ip_address


and you have to erboot the system and then you are good to go.

You can use the SAM in Networking or edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and after is not necesary reboot the machine, you can use /sbin/init.d/ net start

The easiest way, to me, is

#set_parms ip_address

Hi,



1.
#ifconfig lan# inet netmask broadcast up

The character "#" is a value of 0,1, ... up to the inteface number that you want to configure.

2.
Vi the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and modify the following entry :

IP_ADDRESS[#]=
SUBNET_MASK[#]=
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[#]=
ROUTE_GATEWAY[#]=

The character "#" is the instance number of the interface number that you are reconfiguring ( is a value 0,1,2, ...)

3. Reboot your system and midification will take effect after that.
