but the problem with my machine appears to be somewhat different from that thread. apologies if I missed something from there.
We recently moved a machine physically and from one subnet to another . I used `system-config-network-tui` to reconfigure the IP and gateway (I also, tried by manually editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* files but without success). Ever since I'm not able to ping the new gateway. I get "Destination Host Unreachable".
Here is my config:
Code:
# ifconfig -a

A few things that I notice in the output of `ifconfig` is that, it doesn't say 'RUNNING' on the line " UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1" (obviously) and secondly, the line which shows the base address and the memory assigned is missing in eth0 (note that it is present for eth2. i also tried reconfiguring the ip and gateway to eth2 instead but the result was same).
here is my ifcfg-eth0:
Code:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.

ONBOOT=yes

PEERDNS=yes

What am I missing. Any help is greatly appreciated. I've spent almost 2 days now without any success.

I missed mentioning before that I can't even ping other machines in the same subnet
Code:
# ping 10.8.10.33
PING 10.8.10.33 (10.8.10.33) 56(84) bytes of data.

10.8.10.33 is up and running and I can ping from other machines.

Please ignore my post. Eth0 port was bad. I used eth1 instead. It works well. Lessons learnt:
1. when ifconfig says UP but RUNNING is missing from the line, check the cable
2. use ethtool which tells clearly about the link status: " Link detected: yes|no" (last line in the output)
3. try to be physically available in the lab. It saves a lot of time.

This thread may be closed. My apologies to those who spent time reading the post. I should have checked my physical connections before posting.
I have setup a Linux machine on my server but for some reason Im unable to reach my default gateway. This is causing me to not communicate with the outside world (unable to connect to CentOS repos)

Hi,
I installed AIX 7.1 on a blade though (hmc with vio). I can ping the IP address, but not the gateway. Is there anything that I should configure?
Is there anything that I have to check with vio setting or Am I missing any configuration?
Please let me know further.
Thank you (5 Replies)
Hi,
Here is the issue: There are 2 identical systems in the same subnet here. They can ping and ssh each other. One can ping the default gateway and one can not with error '... icmp_seq Destination Host Unreachable'. I can't find any difference between the two systems in terms of network... (4 Replies)

I have NCR MP-RAS unix. I have been trying for several months to get our network working since we had never used it before. I have setup all routes that I can think of.

Just want to know if someone has a clue about what could be happening here:
I have an AIX box with four NICs in Ether channel connected to a Cisco Switch.
When I try to ping the default gateway, sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't work unless it has a defined static route.

Hello,
I am new to Unix :D and have been trying to configure an AIX server running 5.3. I used smitty or smit to configure interface 0 on the server.
