How to easily change IP address on Solaris?

[aunixguru]

Does anyone know of a admin utility to change it?
Do I just change it in the hosts file?
Help

Hi,

I would like to run "ifconfig -a" to see what's the names of the network interfaces. e.g.
lo0: flags=1000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
elxl0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.2.40 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255

Then execute:
ifconfig elxl0 some_new_IP_address netmask some_network_mask
e.g.
ifconfig elxl0 192.168.2.41 netmask 255.255.0.0

Regards,
Jerry.

Hi,
A Clean way is use: sys-unconfig

If you just want to change it on the fly then:

ifconfig hme0 unplumb
ifconfig hme0 plumb
ifconfig hme0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ifconfig hme0 up

Substitute for hme0 in the above with the interface name used on your system.

Change your /etc/hosts file to make permanent change.
