[tovohery]

Hi all,

Could someone guide me step by step the way to change the physical and virtual IP address on AIX 5.3?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

to set a virtual IP:
---------------------
ifconfig "ADAPTER" "VIRTUAL IP" netmask "SUBNET MASK" alias
(e.g. ifconfig en0 10.10.22.38 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias)

to remove a virtual IP:
------------------------
ifconfig "ADAPTER" "VIRTUAL IP" delete


Regards

I think with this command the change is not permanent and it loose after reboot? How to make it permanent and how to set also the physical IP?

Thanks

To make this permanent you have to use chdev command:

To change your physical IP use this:

chdev -a netaddr=newIP -I en#

or smitty chinet
