Add ip to physical nic

[cyberbootje]

Hi

I added an ip to an already installed physical nic and now proxmox wants me to reboot.
I can remember that: after i did a /etc/init.d/networking restart on another proxmox machine it did't work so i rebooted te machine.

This one needs to be online, is it possible to activate the new ip on the nic without a reboot?

You need to copy the new config file first:

# cp /etc/network/interfaces.new /etc/network/interfaces

Then you can restart the network. But depending on the new configuration, existing VM can loose network connection.
