Change IP Address

[smiller99]

How do you change the IP address in IRIX ?, unfortunately I do not know the version, but would guess the OS is proably 8 years old at least.

Smiller,

The command "uname -R" will tell you what version of irix you're running.

You should only have to change one file. It depends on how it was configured...

First file is /etc/hosts.
Locate your workstation hostname in /etc/hosts and change the IP as desired. NOTE: the workstation hostname in /etc/hosts must match the hostname specified in /etc/sys_id. The name in /etc/sys_id is litteral text. So you can change it if you want to change your workstation name too. Just make sure it matched in both files.

Second file (to consider) is /etc/config/netif.options.
It's possible your hostname was hardcoded in that file.
If it was, change it to match the name in /etc/hosts.
If it's called out as if1addr=$HOSTNAME, then leave it as is.

Reboot your workstation for the change to take affect.
