##Using Force Replace to Change a nodes IP address.
###Objective
Previous to Riak 1.2, a cluster node's IP address could be changed by running riak-admin reip
on each cluster node. As of Riak 1.2, this method has been replaced with riak-admin cluster force-replace
which is safer and does not require any downtime.
###Scenario
Riak is running in a cluster of five nodes.
riak@64.214.83.25
onnode1.localdomain
(192.168.17.11)(64.214.83.25)riak@64.214.83.26
onnode2.localdomain
(192.168.17.12)(64.214.83.26)
