My server is running currently. Can I change it online, without restarting
TCPIP / server ? Also what about the parameter of ipsendredirect value ? Do
we set it to zero and if yes, can it also be changed online ?

Thanks & regards

Sachin

We have this set up by adding

     no -o ipignoreredirects=1

to the rc.net script (since no options are not persistent)

Hi

Is there anyway to disable ICMP redirect in AIX ? I have an AIX server A
which is learning another server B's IP address in its routing table. Due
to
this I am not able to do FTP / PING btw. A & B. My network administrator
suggested me to disable ICMP redirect in AIX. Is it possible ?
