Follow these steps to change or remove the network settings on
the Virtual I/O Server logical
partition, such as the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and nameserver address
In this scenario, the Virtual I/O Server logical
partition already has its network configuration set. The current configuration
will be removed, and the updated configuration will then be set. If
you plan to undo your Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) configuration, use
the following process and commands to completely remove the TCP/IP interface
and then configure a new TCP/IP interface for Internet Protocol version 4
(IPv4).
- View the current network configuration using the lstcpip command.
- Remove the current network configuration by running the rmtcpip command.
You can remove all network settings or just the specific settings that need
to be updated.
- Configure the new network settings using the mktcpip command.
The following example is for IPv4 where the
Virtual I/O Server logical partition needs
to have its domain name server (DNS) information updated from its current
address to 9.41.88.180:
- Run lstcpip -namesrv to view the current configuration.
Ensure you want to update this configuration.
- Run rmtcpip -namesrv to remove the current configuration.
- Run mktcpip -nsrvaddr 9.41.88.180 to update the nameserver
address.
