How to change local IP address?
I have a new Ethernet device that has a default IP address on a different subnet and need to change it. I have a Debian 6.0 host connected to the device with a crossover cable and have changed the host /etc/hosts and /etc/networks files to the same subnet as the new device and rebooted. Ping reports the device is unreachable and shows the host is still on the old subnet. What other files have to be changed to change the IP address?

bpqparms

BPQPARMS(8)						   Linux System Managers Manual 					       BPQPARMS(8)

NAME

       bpqparms - Configure BPQ ethernet devices.

SYNOPSIS

       bpqparms device [-a ethaddr] [-d ethaddr] [-vV]

DESCRIPTION

       Bpqparms  allows  the  setting  of  the	BPQ  Ethernet  options for a particular device. Each BPQ Ethernet device appears as a device named
       bpq0...bpqN which overlays the original Ethernet device, usually eth0...ethN. This device is an AX.25 device driver and allows AX.25 frames
       to be transmitted over an Ethernet to another machine using the same protocol. The default for the device is to send and receive BPQ Ether-
       net packets to the broadcast address. This program replaces the previous "axparms -dev" option.

OPTIONS

       -a ethaddr     Allows the setting of which ethernet address will be accepted by the BPQ Ethernet device.

       -d ethaddr     If specified on its own, will set the destination ethernet address will be used for transmitting and for	receiving  of  BPQ
		      ethernet packets. An address of "broadcast" sets it to the ethernet broadcast address.

       -v	      Displays the version number.

       -V	      The original version messages.

SEE ALSO

       ax25(4), axports(5), ifconfig(8).
