AIX

Hi,

I have a LPAR running AIX 5.3 with multiple Etherchannels running (e.g. ent10-ent14 etc).

The person who configured up the interfaces set more that one interface through minimal config and startup under smitty->tcpip

When I try and clear out the IP address for one of the additional interfaces smit complains that the IP address is invalid because it is blank. How do I remove the additional IP addresses to leave only one primary interface?

I will configure up the addidtional IPs using smitty->tcpip-> additional configuration.

TIA

Take down the ether channel and remoe the adapter so you can get to the configuration for just the adapter then:
ifconfig down detach enx
rmdev -l entx -d -R
cfgmgr

or

Take down the etherchannel and you may, or may not, need to remove the adapter from the etherchannel config, then:
ifconfig entx delete

Obviously these commands are run against the physical adapter.
Please check my syntax before use:
