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 AIX interface Smitty (preferred):
 
AIX Server.root / # smitty
-> Communications applications and Services
-> TCIP/IP
-> Further Configuration
-> Static Routes
-> Add a Static Route
And type in the new static route [...]
