Probably more a Linux question than a Bering one; after you change an Ethernet device's IP address in network.conf, what command will configure the device with the new address without having to reboot the box?
On systems using network.conf (Dachstein, Eiger, etc), you want to use the 'net' command (same as 'svi network'):
# net
Usage: net start|stop|reload
net ifup|ifdown|ifreset eth0|eth1|eth2|eth3|eth4|eth5|all
net ipfilter load|flush|reload
net ipfilter list [input|output|forward|autofw|mfw|portfw]
net ipfilter list masq|masqueradeYou can start and stop individual interfaces, reload the firewall rules, or restart all networking.
The following will configure your interface with the new IP: net ifreset <interface>
...although you might be better off with reloading everything, to make sure your firewall rules match your new settings:
net reload
