[OpenIndiana-discuss] Change IP Address for a zone.

[DormitionSkete@hotmail.com]

Thank you!  Unfortunately, though, all the Oracle docs are about as clear as mud.  

I want to change routert3.vnic0 from 192.168.0.41 to 192.168.0.3

I don't see a way to set that with ipadm.  Do I have to delete the entire interface and recreate it?

I'd appreciate your help!


root at routert3.ds:~# ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
lo0/v4            static   ok           127.0.0.1/8
routert3.vnic0/_a static   ok           192.168.0.41/24
routert3.vnic3/_a static   ok           192.168.3.41/24
lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128
