Greetings,

Working with AIX 5.1 ML3 on a P/690.

I'm trying to add a route to the inet0 device so that it comes up with it on boot. It doesn't appear to take for some reason or I am doing something wrong.

( a look at inet0 before the change )

root@nf1n03en1:/ > lsattr -El inet0
hostname nf1n03en1 Host Name True
gateway Gateway True
route net,-hopcount,1,,-if,en0,,0,10.15.44.254 Route True
bootup_option no Serial Optical Network Interface True
rout6 FDDI Network Interface True
authm 131073,65536 Authentication Methods True

( I make the change here )

root@nf1n03en1:/ > chdev -l inet0 -a route='net,-hopcount,0,,-if,en1,,0,198.254.18.1'
inet0 changed

( and the change does not show up here )

root@nf1n03en1:/ > lsattr -El inet0
hostname nf1n03en1 Host Name True
gateway Gateway True
route net,-hopcount,1,,-if,en0,,0,10.15.44.254 Route True
bootup_option no Serial Optical Network Interface True
rout6 FDDI Network Interface True
authm 131073,65536 Authentication Methods True

( I should see, or would expect to see, two 'route' lines as I do on my other nodes. for example: )

root@nf1n03en1:/ > rsh nf1n01 lsattr -El inet0
hostname nf1n01en1 Host Name True
gateway Gateway True
route net,-hopcount,0,,-if,en1,,0,198.254.18.1 Route True
route net,-hopcount,1,,-if,en0,,0,10.15.44.254
bootup_option no Serial Optical Network Interface True
rout6 FDDI Network Interface True
authm 131073,65536 Authentication Methods True
root@nf1n03en1:/ >

Am I doing this wrong?
