You need to save the default gateway in the ODM. If you manually
add/delete routes WITHOUT using smit then the "come back" when you reboot
do the following:
smitty tcpip
select ==> Minimum Configuration & Startup
select your network card
and then change
Default Gateway
Address (dotted decimal or symbolic name) [172.16.0.255]
to whatever your gateway is, this will update the ODM and next time you
reboot will be the gateway thats set

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
