setting up IP address

[Raghuram Ollakal_1]

I need to setup IP address to noe of My HP N-cllass server. There is no CDE on this one. How do I add IP, mask and Getway from comand pormpt.

[melvyn burnard]

take a look at the set_parms command.
man set_parms

[melvyn burnard]

take a look at the set_parms command.
set_parms ? will give you some help

[Joseph C. Denman]

use set_parms

/sbin/set_parms ip_address

then

/sbin/set_parms addl_netwrk


...jcd...

[S.K. Chan]

If you run ..
# /sbin/set_parms
it 'll return the usage which shows you you can run it with these arguments ..
hostname
timezone
date_time
root_passwd
ip_address
addl_netwrk
So you'll need to run ..
# /sbin/set_parms ip_address
and
# /sbin/set_parms addl_netwrk
Reboot will be required.

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

and to be complete you can manually edit the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and /etc/hosts appropriately and /sbin/init.d/net stop and /sbin/init.d/net start to do it too... without the reboot..

Later,
Bill

set_parms is what you need to configure IP, mask... at command prompt.

hello,

two options:
Run /sbin/set_parms
Edit the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and add your entries their. You either have to reboot the system or stop and start the net daemons and inetd

Hi,

You can use sam as a menu based interface. SAM works pretty fine with a character base emulation too. Or you can use the /sbin/set_parms from the command line.

/sbin/set_parms ip_address to set the ip address and
/sbin/set_parms addl_netwrk o set the netmask and other network parameters.

Hope this helps.

If you really want the command line commands:

vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

and make you changes.

vi /etc hosts

and add the new address and fqdn there

assuming you are using lan0 as your nic to the world:

ifconfig lan0 123.123.123.123 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 123.123.123.255 up

route add default 123.123.123.1 1

Of course you would replace the numbers given in the example with your valid IP address netmask etc.
