I am very new to MS SQL Server Administration and wants to learn on Migration of SQL Server in detail. We are in a Datacenter migration Project where the Windows server (SQL Server is residing in it) is going to be migrated AS-IS from Source to Destination. I would like to know what are the things that we need to take care for the SQL Server IP address connectivity issues and other related connectivity problems. correct me if anything wrong in framing the question and thanks in advance

If you are just changing IP address ONLY, then there are less things to worry.
Check
Linked servers referencing IP address needs to be changed as well.
If any user workstations are connecting using IP, then they need to
flush DNS
usingipconfig /flushdns
or better just restart their workstations.If you want to be proactive and find out the applications connecting to your sql server instance, then use this server side trace and then plan accordingly for downtime.
Note: make sure you assign a static IP address and port to sql server.
