After the boot settings of the LAN interface have been modified, issue the following

command to activate the LAN settings immediately:

#/etc/init.d/networking restart

NOTE After changing the IP settings, use the networking restart command to activate the new IP

address.

Modifying Network Settings over the Network

IP settings can be activated over the network, but the new settings will not be saved to the flash

ROM without modifying the file

/etc/network/interfaces

For example, type the command

#ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1

to change the IP address of

LAN1 to 192.168.1.1.
