change IP address in Linux:
To change the IP address in linux, first list the current ip using "ifconfig" command.
# ifconfig eth0
It will list the IP address with subnet mask as,
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:64:4B:5F:A3
inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::222:64ff:fe4b:5fa3/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
.......................................
.......................................
To set IP address from 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.10, enter command:
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
Finally check the IP address using,
# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:64:4B:5F:A3
inet addr:192.168.1.10 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::222:64ff:fe4b:5fa3/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
.......................................
.......................................
Now the IP is changed.
Use this command to change IP address in linux.
