here we go, the output of the netstat command report some nic cards set up properly with their IP - so no problem here, but there are some nic card not in used and not set up appearing with a "*" and I just cant remove it using ifcongig down , detach, it just keep reappeating.

the thing is even if I remove it from the server using rmdev the problem is the card will reappear via cfmgr so this wont fix my problem.

Dual port card, 1 port used and configured, the second port not in used
en1* 1500 link#3 0.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx - 0 0 0 0 0
en3* 1500 link#4 0.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx - 0 0 0 0 0

how do you get rid of those ent* entries from netstat ouptu ?
what commands to run and which order ?

Thanks a lot in advance for whoever can help me here :-)

Cheers
Al.

the time it took to write this post would have been better invested in "man netstat".

I'm not understanding your issue. Can you show the actual command and its output? Maybe I can see what it really is. What is the exact problem this is causing?

That is a normal behaviour.
You should deactivate the Interfaces in the ODM.
ifconfig works only temporary.

Look for chdev in AIX.
