Hello friends.

Does anybody know IF and HOW, change the system IP addresss trough telnet session?.

We have a client that is going to change ALL the IP addresses of 38 systems all arround the country and It is not just a IP addresses change, Its also to a different network segment.

For example: the IP 192. 168.92.10, Mask: 255.255.0.0, Router: 192.168.92.1

Is going to change to: the IP 192.155.35.10, same mask, Router: 192.155.35.1

I have try to do on lab, but as soon I get to the router part, y loose the telnet conection so the change it is not validated and I have to connect to the old IP address and reboot the systems because netadmin keeps busy and I can not access anymore.

I think you can try two way (you can test in lab):
- connect with telnet and make netadmin (without -m) - all management in one step - IP address, Net Mask, Router. At the end you will lose connection but parameters will changed and you can connect with new address.
- next one - run netadmin -m, (NOT APPLY CHANGES!!) delete default router, manage new IP parameters, declare router, select QUIT, and answer "Y" about parameters saving.

Hi VAD.

I tryed both suggestion. The first suggestion works properly. I´m already updating the systems and have no trouble with this way.

The second keeps netadmin busy, it does not work for me.


Thank you very much for your help-
