Hi.
I have encountered weird behaviour on our linux server running OS 11.4 x86_64.
I have to switch the external interface of the server/firewall from one physical network to a newer one.
In each of these networks the server has a static IP address assigned by the IT department of the university.
A job simple enough:
1. Change IP, Hostname and Gateway IP
2. Plug the cable from the external interface into the appropriate connector and restart the network interface.
This failed. After a restart of the network the server does not see even the set gateway. (i.e. a ping returns HOST UNREACHABLE)
I have tried the setup on my laptop too (running OS 12.3 x86_64) Here everything worked - but required a restart.
Thus my question:
Have I missed something in the restart process?
My understanding is, that changing the settings(IP, Hstname,Gateway) in Yast should be sufficient but this seems not to have worked here.
N.B. I would like to avoid having to restart the server.
