    Copy 
    delphix> network
    delphix network> interface
    delphix network interface> ls
    NAME     
    vmxnet3s0
    delphix network interface> select vmxnet3s0 
    delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0'> get
        type: NetworkInterface
        name: vmxnet3s0
        addresses:
            0:
                type: InterfaceAddress
                address: 10.1.2.3/24
                addressType: STATIC
                enableSSH: true
                state: OK
        dataNode: DATA_NODE-34
        device: vmxnet3s0
        macAddress: 0:c:29:32:96:a3
        mtu: 1500
        mtuRange: 60-9000
        reference: NETWORK_INTERFACE-vmxnet3s0-DATA_NODE-34
        state: OK

  4. Run the update command and update the address to the new IP address for the Delphix Engine. 

    Copy 
    delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0'> update
    delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update *> edit addresses.0
    delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update addresses.0 *> get
    Properties
        type: InterfaceAddress
        address: 172.16.151.154/24
        addressType: STATIC
        enableSSH: true
        
    delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update addresses.0 *> set address=10.1.2.4/24
    delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update addresses.0 *> get
        type: InterfaceAddress (*)
        address: 10.1.2.4/24 (*)
        addressType: STATIC (*)
        enableSSH: true (*)

  5. Commit the operation.

    Copy 
    delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0' update addresses.0 *> commit
    delphix network interface 'vmxnet3s0'> get
        type: NetworkInterface
        name: vmxnet3s0
        addresses:
            0:
                type: InterfaceAddress
                address: 10.1.2.4/24
                addressType: STATIC
                enableSSH: true
                state: OK
        dataNode: DATA_NODE-34
        device: vmxnet3s0
        macAddress: 0:c:29:32:96:a3
        mtu: 1500
        mtuRange: 60-9000
        reference: NETWORK_INTERFACE-vmxnet3s0-DATA_NODE-34
        state: OK

  6. Re-enable the VDBs and dSources running from the engine.
