Yes you can do it,
Code:
smitty nim --> perform administrative tasks --> Manage network --> define a network (ent)
                                            Define a Network

Type or select values in entry fields.
Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.

                                                        [Entry Fields]
* Network Name                                       [Net_193_X]
* Network Type                                        ent
* Ethernet Type                                       Standard                                        +
* Network IP Address                                 [xx.xx.xx.0]
* Subnetmask                                         [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
  Default Gateway for this Network                   []
  Other Network Type                                                                                  +
  Comments                                           [193 Network]

You have to define the Network IP address (say you have 10.10.193.xxx) then you will mention 10.10.193.0 (remember the zero)
Also ask your network team what is the subnet mask and enter it there and hit enter.

You can run lsnim -c networks to view the defined network.

Also run lsnim -l Net_193_X, to check the Network address and subnet mask.

You will 1st do an entry on new hosts in /etc/hosts file of nim server (IP and Hostname) and when you define a new machine (you will see the NIM network as Net_193_X)

Now the tricky part,
In the SMS menu of the client under "Gateway IP Address" you will mention the Gateway of client (193.X) and NOT NIM server gateway.

ip6_setup

ip6_setup(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      ip6_setup(8)

NAME

       ip6_setup - IPv6 configuration program

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/ip6_setup

DESCRIPTION

       The ip6_setup utility allows you to configure the IPv6 networking software on your system.

       To run ip6_setup, enter the following command and then answer the questions: # ip6_setup

       You  must know your Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) address. If your network uses subnet routing, you must know the subnet mask for your
       network.  The network manager should be able to provide you with the information that you need.

       After the ip6_setup command completes, the network services on the  system  can	be  restarted  manually  with  the  following  command:  #
       /usr/sbin/rcinet restart

       Before  you  restart  the  network  services  with  the preceding command, warn the users that the network services on the system are being
       removed.  File systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file or the automount command must be unmounted with the unmount command.
       You must remount these file systems using the mount command after the network is started on your system.

       Alternatively, you can reboot the system with the following command: # /usr/sbin/shutdown -r now

FILES

       Specifies  the  host  name  file.  Specifies the environment variables that define the network configuration on your system.  Specifies the
       trusted hosts file.  Specifies the network name file.  Specifies Internet routing information.  Specifies Internet routing information.

SEE ALSO

       Commands: mount(8), rcinet(8)

       Files: gateways(4), hosts(4), hosts.equiv(4), networks(4), routes(4).
