Change Ip address in solaris

[Jonathan777]

Hi,

Can someone tell me how to change the Ip address in a unix box running sun solaris 2.6.

Thanks,

Jonathan

If it's a different address but on the same network, then just use the ifconfig command:

ifconfig -a to get the existing details (interface name, inet & netmask) then (assuming interface is le0 - may be hme0)

ifconfig le0 ipaddress netmask netmask

If it's a totally different address, then you're probably better off running /usr/sbin/sys-unconfig which will re-set all your network settings (hostname, NIS domain name, LDAP, timezone, IP address, IP subnet mask, root password) & ask for the new values when you reboot. TandA

Day by day, the penguins steal my sanity.

Hi,

If you want the chamge to be permanent change the defualt entry in /etc/hosts

Remember to change the entries in the file /etc/defaultrouter & /etc/routes files if you change subnets
