netconf - Do you need to reboot?

[Adele Taylor]

Hi,

I have modified the ROUTE_GATEWAY: setting in netconf (HP-UX 11.0)

Do I need to down the server for the change to take effect?

Thanks.

Reboot is not required.
you can just do a
/sbin/init.d/net stop
/sbin/init.d/net start


Thanks

You have to stop and start network services.
but if you can, reboot to make it a CLEAN change.

Excellent - Thank you!

Hi,

If you've simply changed the gateway for a route, I'd just delete the old route and add the new with the route command. If you made many changes, I'd reboot.

Rebooting or "running /sbin/init.d/net start" will issue route commands based on netconf so it is a better test.

Hi,

Just do:

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

Take care with users.

Regards, Vicente.
