Installing and Configuring Internet Services
Configuring Internet Addresses
If the host is on a network that uses NIS, change its IP address in the
/etc/hosts file on the NIS master server, and issue the following
commands to regenerate the hosts database and push it out to the
NIS slave servers:
cd var/yp
/usr/ccs/bin/make hosts
If the host is on a network that uses NIS+, use the nistbladm (1)
command to change the host’s IP address in the NIS+ hosts table.
4. If the host is moving to a different subnet, change the
ROUTE_DESTINATION, ROUTE_GATEWAY, and
BROADCAST_ADDRESS[n] variables in
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf.
If the host is moving to a network that uses a different subnet mask,
change the SUBNET_MASK[n] variable in
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf.
5. If the host is moving to a different network, you may have to
configure new routes for it. See “To Configure Routes” on page 37.
6. If the host is on a network that uses gated, change its IP address on
all the gated routers. See “Configuring gated” on page 235.
7. If the host is a BOOTP client, change its IP address in the
/etc/bootptab file on the BOOTP server. If the host is a BOOTP
server, and a BOOTP relay agent is configured to relay boot requests
to the host, change the host’s IP address in the /etc/bootptab file
on the BOOTP relay agent. See “Configuring TFTP and BOOTP
Servers” on page 163.
8. If the host is an NTP server, change its IP address in the
/etc/ntp.conf file on NTP clients. If the host is an NTP client and
is moving to another network, you might have to configure a different
NTP server in its /etc/ntp.conf file. See “Configuring NTP” on
page 207.
9. Reboot the host.
