IP-address change. Static and persistent. From shell/SSH.

[wittrup]

How may I have a static and persistent IP-address change of a sbRIO-9627 from shell/SSH?

I have tested

ifconfig eth0 <IP address> netmask <subnet MASK> up

without success.

I am aware of other options:

1. RAD Utility
2. NI MAX
3. Web Interface

Solution found:

nirtcfg --set section=ETH0,token=ip_address,value=192.168.1.5
/etc/init.d/networking restart

In addition to the 3 (4) methods you mention you can also have your RT-application do the change itself through the System Configuration API. We use this to have the system change its own configuration if the current one fails (from DHCP to a last known static IP for example).
