How to change a static IP NetworkManager Controlled from the shell?

  • 772

I have a server (SL6.2) with IP configured from install, but now I need to change the IP address. The IP is controlled by the NwtworkManager:

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 
DEVICE="eth1"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
HWADDR="34:40:B5:B8:1E:BA"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"

I need to change the static IP, but it's a server and I have no x11 installed. How can I changed it in the NetworkManager configuration?

    This interface looks like it is configured to use DHCP. To make the configuration static, you change the file to look like:

    BOOTPROTO="none"
IPADDR=<your.ip.addr.ess>
NETMASK=<your.sub.net.mask>
GATEWAY=<your.gate.way.ip>
