Well, that is not the full ifconfig line.
Should be:
ifconfig en1 <hostname or IP address> netmask <netmask> up
Netmask is given because if you don't provide it, it will derive it. I.e.;
if you address is class A your netmask will be derived as 255.0.0.0. Can't
go wrong by adding it.
Also, you might find the
smitty chinet
screen more to your liking. Don't reboot. Not required.
If you need to recover routes, do a:
mkdev -l inet0
You will find all of this documented in the archives also.

Subject: Activate en1 without rebooting?
Hi,
I have a H80 running AIX 4.3.3. We have two NICs on
this system. One was for public(en0) and the other is
for private access(en1). Today I modified the private
NIC's media speed from Auto_Negoiation to 100 Mbps
Full Duplex. I ifconfig 'shut' and 'detached' en1 and
modified its speed. I then ifconfig en1 up. However,
ifconfig -a showed en1 no longer having its ip address
and I could not ping other systems on the PrivateNet.
In the past, if I rebooted the system after the
modification, the NIC would work again.
Is there any way I can get this NIC to work without
rebooting the system?
TIA
