Re: IP Address change

You dont need system reboots to change IP.
VM uses DHCP for IP addresses (as do many devices and systems).
When its lease time expires, it will attempt a renew, and could, in theory, get changed for a new one.

DHCP will generally try to give you back the same address you had before, but sometimes that is not possible.
