Error lan0 interface ifconfig

Venkat,

You can use the set_parms command

# set_parms ip_address

Best regards,

Shalom Venkat,

What did you do to change it the first time.

Permanent change:
vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

Restart the system or at least networking after this:
/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start

ifconfig command to make a temporary change, see the man page for details

set_parms may let you do these changes interactively.

SAM can also do it for you but often makes mistakes.

See /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log for details on the actual problem.

Hi:

The simplest way to change the IPAddress is to run:

# /sbin/Set_parms ip_address

A reboot is required.

Minor correction:

I believe it's

/sbin/set_parms ip_address

without the capital "s".

Hi (again):

Yup, thanks, Pete. My brain meant :

# /sbin/set_parms ip_address

...while my finger tweaked the second "s" erroneously :-))

Regards!

hi vencat,

it is also advisable to do it from the server console also.

also, backup the config files just in case...

hope this helps!

kind regards

New IP is assigns on lo0 interface

but i want to change to lan0 how to do

[Steven E. Protter]

My fingers are getting fatter too, even after 5 months without a car, walking up and down hills makes me lose weight.

What's up with that?

I reccommend rebooting after anything other than a SAM network change or set_parms ip_address

Both of those commands are smart enough to straigten out neworking.

If you get funky rpc or NFS errors, boot it.

sorry for trouble,

i did what u said
set_parms ipaddress after reboot

#netstat -rn output

Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Interface Pmtu
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 lo0 4136
10.20.11.145 127.0.0.1 UH 0 lo0 4136

The New Ipadderss is assigning to lo0 Interface

Hi (again):

Did the change in IP address you made change your default gateway? I suspect so. I don't see a default gateway. You should run:

# /sbin/set_parms addl_netwrk

...and verify and/or change settings appropriately.

If i am using

ifconfig lan0 inet 172.21.134.26

route add 172.21.134.26 172.21.134.1

its working temporarly but how should i go for permanently

but /etc/rc.config.d/netconf i entered IP address

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again):

If you made your updates dynamically, then yes, absolutely, you need to make the appropriate changes in '/etc/rc.config.d/netconf'. Make sure that you have defined ROUTE_DESTINATION, ROUTE_GATEWAY and ROUTE_COUNT for instance.
