    Hi

    I have to change the subnet mask on all my cpanel servers in a few days. I'm wondering, is it enough if I change the file "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0"? Or is there anything else needed? After I made the change there, do I need to restart a service?

    I use Centos 3.5.

    Thanks
    Michael

    I just realized in this file I have only the main IP adress, what about the second IP which I have configured on this servers? I did expect that there will be also a file ifcfg-eth0:1, but I did not find it.

    Run ifconfig to check how your IP addresses are bound. After making changes you need to down and up the interface. Remotely, this is best done with:

    /etc/init.d/network restart

    But do be aware that this can render the server inaccessible and may require a manual restart of the network from the console. If you have access to the console remotely, do that restart from there. If not, it might be better to simply reboot.

    Hi Chirpy

    ipconfig shows this:

    But I have only a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and not a second one for eth0:1.

    Where can I change the subnetmask for the second ip address?

    Thanks
    Michael

    They're setup by /etc/init.d/ipaliases and take the information from the file /etc/ips which contains, among other things, the network mask information.
