Hi,

I am using aix 5300-07, I am facing strange issue in aix.

I have changed the ip address and gateway of aix server , it is showing the right ip address but it is taking old gateway ip address.


I have used netstat -r command and found it is showing 2 Default gateway.

I want to remove old gateway ip address.

I have changed the old gateway ip with new one but after rebooting the server it is taking old default gateway ip address even I have checked with smitty tcpip->en0 properties.

Please suggest

Regards,
Manoj

flush the old gateway by going into
smitty route
--> select the last option
--> flush all the gateways from ODM ( last two options SET TO YES / YES )

After flushing ... exit...check if the gateway is there or not by #netstat -Crn
not present...good...then add your new gateway.

# route add default IP_ADDRESS

to make it permanent go to smitty route
add static route

Manjo,

The reply from filosophizer is not totally correct. The “route add” commando will not be reactivated after a reboot. This because “route add” is not updating the ODM

I would suggest the following:

Log-on to the console of the machine.
#Flush ALL routes from ODM
smitty fshrttbl
--> Put all options to "yes"

smitty mktcpip
--> Select correct interface
--> Input/Select all the correct information

Now all should be correct again.
