Question tru64 ip change
I'm trying to change the IP address of a Tru64 v4.0e box. The ifconfig command is not working. I am using the following format (which does not return an error):
ifconfig tu1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0
The xxx* indicates the new IP. After entering that command, an ifconfig -a command indicates old IP still, even after restart.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

To configure an ip address while the machine is up
Do the following

ifconfig tu1 plumb
ifconfig tu1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 up



if the above does not work then

edit /etc/hosts and change your hosts ip address

then edit /etc/hostname.tu1 placed your hostname in this file

finally reboot your machine
