Hello Monks,

Is it possible to take the value of IP address from a file and assign it to the LAN network ? Leave the script running in the background and move to the next IP address after say 12 hours or so.

e.g. file name will be ip2.txt which contains ip address 192.168.10.2 , file name ip3.txt which contains ip address 192.168.10.3 etc.. once it reads the file ipx.txt where x=2 to 254, it gets the IP address and assings it to the LAN network. it leaves it like that for say 12 hours and then move to the next one ipx+1.txt and does the same.

once it reaches the ipx+y where x+y=254, it resets it to ip2.txt and does the same again.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
