what can be the reason ?
Whatever put the static route into place can be the culprit.
For instance: if you have the systems configured as a DHCP client they might have been provided with a default route by the DHCP server. If this didn't provide the default again after the network failure (for whatever reason) it might be lost.
Another possibility: the default route was configured with a "route add" command and this will not survive a reboot. Use
chsys to put a default route in place which will survive a reboot.
There are more (less common) reasons but without more information it is not possible to find out.
Btw: we have a
forum specializing in AIX. You might want to put AIX-related questions there.
I hope this helps.
