AIX

I've recently changed my gateway setting using SMIT. Everything went fine except that the gateway setting kept reverting back to the old one everytime I reboot the server.

I'm on AIX 5.2 running p-Series. Thanks for any info.

Hi,

I had got a similar problem under gentoo linux.
I compiled and set up everything on my own, and so i did with the networksettings.

Means:

Code:

ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x broadcast x.x.x.x. netmask x.x.x.x. up

and

Code:

route add default gw x.x.x.x

I had to do that on every startup as root.

If I understood you right you already did that (or maybe you made the entries manually in /etc/conf.d/net.)

Afterwards you'll have to add those settings to the default runlevel.
You'll do so with

Code:

# rc-update add net.eth0 default

That simply should do the trick if i understood you....

The gateways get "stuck" sometimes in AIX. Makes no sense. I just delete the network interface completely, and reconfigure it from scratch.

rmdev -dl en0
chfmgr
smitty tcpip

Guys,

Thanks for the help.
