UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello folks;
I have a NIC card on my SUSE 10.3 server with eth0 & eth1 configured with two IP addresses (172.16.5.3 & 172.16.5.4)

I'd like to remove the IP assigned to eth1 (172.16.5.4). i think i know i can go into ifcfg-eth1 and edit it but before i do that, i want to know if there's a better way to do it using command line (i don't have GUI on that server) and if there's more steps involved with removing the IP address from either eth0 or eth1?

Thanks in advance for help

As root

Code:

ip addr del eth1 172.16.5.4
# OR
ip addr flush eth1

Thanks. I had to change it a little bit but it worked. I appreciate it
