Problem with IP address when restarting AIX

Hi!

I have useud SMIT to configured my static adress for AIX but when I restart the AIX the ipadress is not shown when I print netstat -in or ifconfig -a.
I have to configure the ip whit smit to have it start!
How can I starting the ip during boot?

Strange - configuring via smit should do the trick, normally. You can also check man page for mktcpip to do it manually and just to make sure write a new image with
Code:
bosboot -ad /dev/ipldevice

additionally, before you reboot.

You can also check what is written in the ODM with:
Code:
odmget -q "name = en2" CuAt

where en2 is just the interface name.

Code:
lssrc -a | grep -i dhcp

That should be inactive to be sure it isn't still running.
