NOTES • If successful, this command causes any CLI or GUI clients currently connected to lose their connection. • To make it possible to change the network configuration without running the risk of losing contact with the system because of misconfiguration, the setnet command uses a two step process. When a new IP address is specified with the setnetstartaddr command, the system is configured to listen as both the old and new IP addresses. When a new gateway is specified with the setnet gateway command, the system switches between the old and new gateways when it sees packets addressed to it being routed through those gateways. After a connection has been made with the new configuration, the setnet finish command can be used to remove the old configuration. While in the middle of this process, additional work must be done by the system. It is preferable to run the setnet finish command after the new configuration has been verified. • When changing gateways, starting a CLI connection takes longer than usual, as the first reply packet is typically routed through the previously used gateway address. setnet 305
