HP-UX 9.X IP CONFIGURATION

[Michael Vander Veer]

How do I change the IP address of a system running HP-UX 9?

Hello Michael,

I do not remember exactly....

Do a

grep ifconfig *rc*

in directory /etc.

There should be some files *rc* containing several startup commands.
Keep in mind that 9.x is no longer on support.

in HP-UX 9.x and before, the system used a startup script called /etc/rc.
In here there were calls to further scripts, one being /etc/netlinkrc, and this is the one where the ifconfig gets done to add ip addresses etc.
You need to also ensure that you make the relevant change top /etc/hosts.
Hope it all helps

Do the following:

1. Logon as root
2. Run sam (System Administration Manager)
3. Select Networking/Communications
4. Select Network Interface Cards
5. Select your card in the window.
6. Click on the Config button to change the IP address.

Hope this helps.

I think the set_parms program was available on 9.X.

Try doing a:

# set_parms ip_address

See 'man set_parms' for more info.
