There are circumstances when AIX will let you define two default routes. I think this is bad. Even if you have removed the offending default route using the route delete command it can still persist in the AIX ODM. Here’s what you do to fix this:-
First let’s back up the ODM…
cd /etc/objrepos cp CuAt cuat.old cp CuDep cudep.old cp CuDv cudv.old cp CuDvDr cudvdr.old cp CuVPD cuvpd.old |
Now run this to see all the default routes…
odmget -q 'name=inet0' CuAt |
Choose the offending route and check the value is correct using (as an example)…
odmget -q 'value=net,-hopcount,0,,0,44.1.128.51' CuAt |
If we’re happy you got the right value, delete it with (as an example)…
odmdelete -o CuAt -q 'value=net,-hopcount,0,,0,44.1.128.51' |
Now recheck the ODM to see if it’s gone correctly…
odmget -q 'name=inet0' CuAt |
Finally run
savebase bosboot -a |
To save things correctly.
