how do u change ur primary nic ip address without jeopardizin and making that transparent to the users that are trying to connect to the box and that are currently in the box.. steps will be appreciated.. from switch to server changes.. TIA
 
I think the simple answer is, you don't.

Changing the IP address on the interface will break any connections to that IP address. And anyway at some point you will need to inform your users of the new IP address and get them to connect to that instead.

No switch changes are required to change and IP address.
