Changing IP Address
 

The following steps may be used to change the IP address of a Solaris system:


1. Change the host's IP in /etc/hosts for the change to take effect after reboot.


2. Change /etc/defaultrouter with the address of the host's new default gateway, if applicable.


3. If you are using variable length subnet masks (VLSM), add the host's network number and subnet mask to /etc/netmasks.


4. Run ifconfig interface ip_address netmask broadcast_address for the IP address change to take effect immediately. The netmask and broadcast_address should be specified if you are using variable length subnet masks (VLSM), but may be omitted otherwise.


Solaris 10 additional instructions:

5. Change the host's IP in /etc/inet/ipnodes for the change to take effect after reboot.
