New network configuration

[Don Spare]

We are changing our network configuration and I will have to change the default route for my L class servers. I did this once a long time ago but I can't remember how I did it. A search of the man pages did not jog my memory. Can someone please point me in the right direction. My default route will need to change from 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.2.

all you have to do is

route add IP.IP.IP.IP netmast 255.x.x.x

to remove the old one

route -delete IP.IP.IP.IP

Hi,

You can change in this file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
Change the IP_address, netmask, and broadcast to "".
On command line

route delete default

route add default
You will lose these changes when you reboot your system

You can also use set_parms command to change ip address hostname etc..

This can be done in Sam
Also,

/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

There is a rout entry here for the default route.

You can then either stop and start inetd or reboot or

you can use command to change the route online:

route del default ....
route add default ....

To change you default route so that it gets configured correctly on boot up, you need to modify the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and change the line:

ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]="172.30.0.1"

to whatever you new default router is.

To do this without rebooting your system do:

# route delete default

# route add default ip.of.default.router 1


But keep in mind that you'll also need to change the netconf file anyway so the route will be correct after the next reboot.

one more thing, to check your new route, run netstat -r, this will show your route table

hey,

The simple way is through SAM. Also you may edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and search for the 'broadcast' !

Hi Don,

You can do this using SAM. go to sam --> networking and communication -- > Hosts --> Local Hosts File.

Select Action --> configure default gateway from there and set the new ipaddress in the default gateway configuration.

Hope this helps.

HI
Use
#route delete 10.1.1.1 1
#route add default 10.1.1.2 1

Modify the same IP address in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

Thanks.
Prashant.
