you need to change /etc/netmask
and then run that command only write network address. network address dot zero’s in place of node address.

Hi Makakut,

If you do that, you will only make the IP address to change temporarily, it will revert back when you do a reboot

I had to change only netmask on my solaris 10 server. I entered the command like above: svcadm restart network/physical. Before I did it, I had changed mask on file /etc/netmasks. After I entered YOur’s command nothing change. So I had to entered this:

ifconfig bge0 IP_address netmask NET_MASK

and this help ))

Great, please modify the permissions on the hosts file to read & write before you start editing the file.

You need to change the Default router only if the gateway changes. In other words, if the server is moved to a new subnet with a new Gateway then yes, default router needs to be changed.

I’ve written a seperate article for that

May be I should add a note to this article. Thanks for that. I’ll do that!

You make no mention of /etc/defaultrouter. Why is that?
