    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?
