1. Log in as root, or change to superuser.

2. Run the

ifconfig command -a option to list the configured network interfaces in the system. This

will show the Ethernet interface name as well. For example:

#ifconfig -a

lo0: flags=863<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000

hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

inet 192.103.55.186 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.103.255.255

ether 8:0:20:a8:38:c6

3. Change the IP address of the Ethernet interface to 10.10.10.50 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 by

using the ifconfig command. For example:

# ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.50 netmask 255.255.255.0

4. Run the ifconfig command -a option again to make sure the interface address change is effective.
