If you have NetworkManager installed and connection was already setup and working, this task is accomplished by only 2 commands: # nmcli con mod "MyConnectionName" ipv4.addresses "10.0.0.5/24" # nmcli con up "MyConnectionName" That's it. After that your ip address will be set to "10.0.0.5". No need to take your interface down, restart networking or reboot system. And of course this method works over ssh connection. Any information about connection names, available configurable properties, etc could be done via nmcli with bash auto-complete being a convenient helper.
NM is great. I really don't understand why people think it's only for systems with GUI and hate it, while having trouble with editing /e/n/i for anything more complex than changing ip address. -- With kindest regards, Alexander. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
