The interface option allows one to change the IP address

Here is an example of the command to run at the CLI to add a new IP address: 

localhost(config)# interface 0:0 ip-address new.ip.add.ress 255.255.254.0

once the new IP is created the old IP can be deleted with this command: 

localhost(config)# interface 0:0 no ip-address old.ip.add.ress 255.255.xx.x
