Changing host ip

[Jess_13]

Hi all,

My system is running on Alpha server, Tru64 UNIX. Would like to confirm the below. To change ip address:
(1) /etc/hosts
(2) /etc/rc.config
(3) reboot server

Is this the correct steps? Thanks.

Hi,

That sounds about right...
You might also want to check this best practice:

You have to edit /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.config, that is right.
Also have to edit /etc/routes.
You do NOT have to reboot, just do:
# rcinet restart

You can do it also using sysman wizard:
for 5.x do:
# sysman net_wizard
for 4.x do:
# netsetup

It is better to use tool, but it can also be done manualy.
