Code:
ifconfig [interface] [yournewip] subnetmask [yoursubnetmask] up

ifconfig -a

On Solaris 10 you (may) need to update all of the following files.
Code:
     /etc/defaultdomain
     /etc/defaultrouter
     /etc/hostname.interface
     /etc/inet/hosts
     /etc/inet/netmasks
or Solaris < 10 yo may also need to update
Code:
     /etc/net/*/hosts
bear in mind also that may applications use this kind of information, and may break if you change it.

Additionally, on Solaris 10, you'll need to modify /etc/inet/ipnodes.

Cheers,
