I think that is correct but not necessary. |

|
| 25 |
just using a temporary IP address. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
assume your remote host network interface is eth0, the original IP is |
| 28 |
addr1, the last IP is addr2, the temporary IP is addr3. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
You can start a ssh session to addr1, and bind a temporary IP to the |
| 31 |
interface using: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
# ifconfig eth0:0 addr3 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
then terminate the ssh session, start a new session to addr3. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
changing the eth0's IP address to addr2 |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
finally, you can start a ssh session to the last IP address *addr2* |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
and release the temporary IP. |
| 42 |
# ifconfig eth0:0 down |
