How to Add a Permanent Static Route in AIX 4.3

Published by at 9:11 pm under Aix

To add a permanent static route in AIX, add the route command in the startup file /etc/rc.net:

AIX Server.root / $ route add -net 192.168.2.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1

or use Smitty, AIX text interface to perform global system management (preferred):
 
AIX Server.root / # smitty
-> Communications applications and Services
-> TCIP/IP
-> Further Configuration
-> Static Routes
-> Add a Static Route
Then type in the new static route settings.

    This will not persist upon reboot as the output to smit/smitty shows a route add:

    The command /usr/sbin/route add -net -hopcount 0 -netmask 0xff000000 -static x.x.x.x 127.0.0.1

    to persist a route, you must run chdev (or smitty chdev)

    It did persist in my case (on AIX 4)
    But thanks for the info, it might be helpful for some of us
