■ To make it possible to change the network configuration without running the risk of losing
contact with the system because of misconfiguration, the
setnet command uses a two
step process. When a new IP address is specified with the
setnet startaddr command,
the system is configured to listen as both the old and new IP addresses. When a new
gateway is specified with the
setnet gateway command, the system switches between
the old and new gateways when it sees packets addressed to it being routed through those
gateways. After a connection has been made with the new configuration, the
setnet
finish
command can be used to remove the old configuration. While in the middle of
this process, additional work must be done by the system. It is preferable to run the
setnet finish command after the new configuration has been verified.
■ When changing gateways, starting a CLI connection takes longer than usual, as the first
reply packet is typically routed through the previously used gateway address.
