Try running a script as a at job

ifconfig en0 down
ifconfig en0 detach
ifconfig en0 inet ip_address netmask subnet_mask up
route add 0 deafult_route

Put the above lines in to script and run it as at now.You will be fine.

If you have any usr running/acessing the server remotely there will be disruption...

Hi

The best way to do without any disruption is to alias the new IP address to your network card. So both your old IP and new IP will work.

Once when the need for the old IP address is over you can reemove it.
