Scott mentions the safest way to do this, which is to have out-of-band remote console access to the far side equipment. If you're provisioned for this, great... If not, setting it up may be more trouble than it's worth.
Assuming you don't have dial-up access to the remote equipment, here's what I'd do: 1. On the far side equipment, issue the reload command, with a 10 minute delay. 2. Change the far side IP address, which will sever your connectivity temporarily. 3. Change the local IP address. 4. Verify that connectivity has been restored (Attempt to ping the remote side at it's new address). 5. Telnet back into the remote equipment, and cancel the pending reload. 6. Save your configs. "reload in XX" (where XX equals a number of minues) is a lifesaver, and armed with that command, all manner risk associated with remote reconfiguration can be minimized. In this example, should something so horribly awry, in 10 minutes, connectivity would be restored. Good luck... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Hoover" To: Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 8:50 AM Subject: Re: how to change the serial port IP of remote end [7:28665] > You need some sort of console connection to the remote router, be it direct > connect or dial-up through the aux. port.
