Bob,
Maybe this is a different issue, but it sounds like you need to make the
new gateway "persistent." Usually when you change a route or gateway, it
is only in force until reboot.
This is done differently on different platforms. It is a command line
option with DOS. It is a file entry with RedHat. Your AIX docs should
tell you. Or an Internet search for "AIX gateway persistent." Maybe it
is an option in the software you are using to change it.

Subject: [U2] default gateway problem
Ok I know that this is a tad of topic but I am hoping that those nice
IBM chaps are monitoring
We are on a Pseries running AIX 5.3 and Universe 10
We have changed out default gateway,
I know, leave things alone I say, if its not broken don't fix it, but
you know what there network techies are like, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle
Anyway:
we user smit assist - Configure Network Communications' - TCP/IP
Startup - pick our interface
Drop down to default gateway and change the ipaddress
Works fine
Until we re-boot at which point it reverts to the default gateway we had
before the change
It may be we should run ifconfig or something to "lock" our change in
but I can't see it anywhere in the books
Any suggestions would be great
