How to change IP in CentOS?

  • 772

My host has given me a new IP to use instead of the one I'm currently using. How can I set my server's IP from the old one to the new one?

Using CentOS 5.7, no control panels.

centos

    I assume you have a static IP address. Look in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory. You'll see files of the form ifcfg-eth?. Depending on which interface you're changing, it'll be eth0, eth1, and so on. Modify that file, then restart networking.

  2. Just use the CLI menu command "setup" Type that into bash and you'll get a menu that will do all the work ...
