reseting NIC interface settings

If I need to change IP settings on Solaris 10 I need to change following files:

Code:

/etc/inet/ipnodes

/etc/inet/netmasks

/etc/inet/hosts

/etc/defaultrouter

That works for me fine after reboot... but what I wonder: is there anyway to reset NIC without rebooting whole OS ?
I know I can do it with ifconfig command... but there must be some mechanism that uses those files above.

(Like in Slackware - u can change IP in /etc/rc.d/inet1.conf then execute /etc/rc.d/inet1 restart. This will ensure me that changes made in conf. files r OK without rebooting whole OS)

That should be:

Code:

svcadm restart network/physical

you are missing /etc/hostname.NIC

NIC being your type of NIC (ce0, qfe0, bge0, etc)

as far as i know ifconfig is the only way to change the ips without a reboot.

but its not hard...

ex:

ifconfig ce0 inet 192.168.0.43 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
