If this is unavailable, you can edit the IPs by hand. If you need to edit the main IP for the machine after a location change,
- Open the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 in your favorite text editor (if you are new to text editing on Linux, we recommend installing nano with yum install nano and then running the command nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0).
- You should see your primary IP and netmask (from the "IP list" control panel page) in this file. Edit the IPADDR= and NETMASK= fields to match your new IP address.
- Save the file and exit.
- Open /etc/sysconfig/network in your text editor.
- Edit the GATEWAY= field to match the gateway of the IP you entered above.
- Save the file and exit.
- Reboot the VDS with the "reboot" command.
If you need to delete an IP, find its corresponding ifcfg-eth0:x file and delete it.
If you need to add an IP on top of your existing assignments,
- Look for the highest numbered /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:x file.
- Create a new file called /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:y, where y is one higher than x.
- Place these lines in the file:
newip and newnetmask need to match the assignment information we gave you.DEVICE=eth0:y
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=newip
NETMASK=newnetmask
ONBOOT=yes - Save the file and exit.
- If necessary, edit /etc/sysconfig/network to set a new gateway (note that you should only ever list one gateway -- if you already have one for an existing IP address that you are also keeping, you should retain it).
- Reboot the VDS with the "reboot" command.
