IP, Network mask and Default gataway change

[vkostovic]

Hi All

I am Unix admin experienced with SUN and AIX environment. I need to change IP, netmask and Default Gataway on my HPUX 10.20 T600 server.
Bellow is the procedure that I have created and I would appreciate any feedback.

1. cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.date

2.cp /etc/rc.config.d/netconfig /etc/rc.config.d/netconfig.date

3. vi /etc/hosts and add your new IP address
new IP address hostname

4. vi /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and change the following entries
„h IP address
„h Netmask
„h Default gataway


ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="default"
ROUTE_MASK[1]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]=new IP address for gataway
ROUTE_COUNT[1]=1
ROUTE_ARGS[1]=""

RARPD=0
IP_ADDRESS[1]=new IP address
SUBNET_MASK[1]=new subnet mask address
INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan1
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[1]=new broadcast IP address
LANCONFIG_ARGS[1]="ether"
DHCP_ENABLE[1]=0

5. To configure IP parameters without rebooting the box type

ifconfig lan1 down

ifconfig lan1 IP-address netmask NM-address up

6. Route add default DG-address

Thanks a lot.

Or use command
#set_parms

Use the command : set_parms initial

This will run you through all the necessary configuration you need to set up....

First, you cannot have backup files of netconf in the /etc/rc.config.d directory please mv the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconfig.date because at startup the system will read the netconfig.date last and use the setting form that file.

Second, you can only have 1 default gateway, I am assuming that ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="default" is also set.
if that is the use ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="net xxx.xxx.xxx" for a second gateway.

Third I did not see a line for INTERFACE_NAME[1]=lan1
this lets the system know the all entries with [1] is for lan1

Also, you can go to /sbin/init.d and execute:

1. "./net stop"
2. "./net start"

This will read all config files.

Thanks Guys,

When I posted my message I copied and pasted one part of my netconf file.

I edited netconf file, changed manually ip (ifconfig) and default gateway (route add) and everything worked OK.

Thanks a lot for hints.
