Admins,

Our networking staff is working to eliminate the remaining Token Ring in
our environment. I have to move a Control Workstation and one SP node from
Token Ring to Ethernet. This means a change in the WAN address.

I remember from class they said the best way to do this was to completely
re-install the OS on the node (which is not a problem because the node in
question is not in use right now). Is this still true? Having never done
this can somebody give me a brief overview of the steps involved to make
sure I don't overlook anything?

I don't remember going over how to change the WAN address of the Control
Workstation. Is that just a smitty change or do I have to worry about
changing something in SDR as well?

TIA
