Netmask change online

Applications IP Networking

Hi,

I have a system which has been setup with a netmask of 255.255.252.0 . The customer says this netmask is wrong as is causing them some problems. They want me to change it too 255.255.254.0

So what would the command be for my bge0 port.

Can I do this whilst its running the software ? Sybase etc etc

Oh, I wont forget to change /etc/netmask too.

Thanks.
