How to make changes to work in netconf without reboot?

[Kenne]

If I change something in netconf-file, who do I
get the new values to work without to reboot the server. I tried with ifconfig lan0 down|up
but it doesn't work. Can someone help me with this?

If you want to change ip addr, just use:

ifconfig ethX unplumb
/etc/init.d/net start

(second will reread netconf and will set parameters)

See man page for ifconfig.

The simple way to refresh the lan is:
/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start
But you need to connect through remote/local console, other wise you will lose connection.

Also you can try by using below commands.
#lanscan
# netstat â rn
#ifconfig lan4 to verify the lan status for up and running.
#ifconfig lan4 down ( to bring down lan4)
# unplumb lan4
# route â f ( flushing the default route)
NOTE: Caution, if you want to refresh default route.
#ifconfig lan4 up ( to bring up lan4)
# ifconfig lan4 inet 208.10.65.6 netmask 255.255.255.0
#route add net 10.214.32.126 gateway 10.214.34.255 (for public lan)
#ifconfig lan4 up ( to bring up lan4)
#ifconfig lan4 (to verify)
