Re: Access AIX system from different network subnet

Telnet. People on the same subnet have been telneting into the system for years. This is the first time someone from a different building (and subnet) is trying to telnet into the AIX system. Everyone is behind the firewall so it shouldn't be a problem. My though is because it is a different subnet, which makes it a different network, that AIX is not accepting the connection.

Looks like your default gateway isn't setup, or not setup properly.
What does "netstat -r" give you ?

Can you ping the default gateway, can you confirm that it is setup as a router.

Also, can you ping the other way around (from the aix box to the clients) ?
What does traceroute tell you ?
