Then, create a new set of routing variables in the
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf file for each network interface.
Whenever you create a new setof variables, increment the number in
square brackets, as in the following example:
ROUTE_DESTINATION[1]="15.13.131.0"
ROUTE_GATEWAY[1]="15.13.131.213"
ROUTE_COUNT[1]="0"
3. If you will not be using gated, configure routes to all the networks
you need to reach. Type the following command for each network you
need to reach from your host:
/usr/sbin/route add net network_address gateway_address
Then, create a new set of routing variables in the
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf file for each new route. Whenever you
create a new set of variables, increment the number in square
brackets.
ROUTE_DESTINATION[ n ]=" network_address "
ROUTE_GATEWAY[
n ]=" gateway_address "
ROUTE_COUNT[
n ]="1"
If ROUTE_GATEWAY[ n ] is your own host, set ROUTE_COUNT[ n ] to 0.
Otherwise, set it to 1.
4. Type the following command to verify the routes you have
configured:
/usr/bin/netstat -r
For more information on static routing, type man 1M route or man 7
routing at the HP-UX prompt.
If you have a large and complicated network, use gated for dynamic
routing. See “Configuring gated” in the HP-UX Routing Services

Changing a Host’s IP Address
When you use SAM to change a host’s IP address, SAM does not perform
all these steps. For example, SAM does not update BIND or NIS
databases. To change a host’s IP address, complete the following steps:
1. Change the host’s IP address in the /etc/hosts file. See “Editing the
/etc/hosts File” on page 31.
