Hi,

Lot of ways:

1) SAM -> Network Configuration
2) Edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and change IP
3) ifconfig - temperory change only
4) set_parms

you can run set_parms,

I beleive you can also edit the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

[Patrick Wallek]

# set_parms ip_address

is probably the easiest and most fool proof.

If you are using DNS also be sure to change the IP address of the system on your DNS server.

Hi,

the most secure way is to use SAM, he doesn't make errors.... But you could also run the command:

set_parms IP_Adress

Allways stay on the bright side of life!

change it in SAM- that's the easiest way if you aren't too sure what you are doing.

I think that you can also edit the ip in the /etc/hosts file.

Hi,

you can change the ip address of the system using sam or using /sbin/set_parms,

/sbin/set_parms ip_address

sam --> netowrking and communication --> network interface cards -->

If you do this from a workstation you may loose the connection to the server while change is effected. So it would be a good idea to do any ip address change on the server from the system console.

Hope this helps.
