    What is the status of this interface.  Can you still ping use it? Are you using HA.  What hardware model/type is this card on. Is this an intermittent problem.  Have you tried to reconfigure the interface?  What does the error log reveal?

    Yes, I tried smitty mktcpip to configure this ent0. It does not work. And no ent0 error showed on errpt.  Only "invalid MAC address" were showed on switch side.

    Several things to try:

    as you know routes impacts getting outside of subnet, what do the current routing tables look like, netstat -rn), do this on the problem host and a good one in the same subnet

    also do lsattr -Elinet0

    on the node in the same subnet that you pinged, check the entry in it's arp cache, on that node do... arp -an | and look for mac address of this node that has the problem, look for the mac address of the default router on both the good node and problem node and compare them

    can you ping the default router

    what mac address appears in the arp cache for the default router from this machine, do an arp -an to see, if you can't ping the router, delete it's arp entry with the arp -d command and try again to ping the router

    Things to try (at your own risk): reconfigure this problem host from beginning, run /etc/tcp.clean, down the interface, rmdev it, then try cfgmgr to rediscover, note that permanent routes reside in the odm, so you have to change the attributes of inet0 to make routes permanent, routes can be added temporarily, then try initial configuration of interface on machine, 

    your errpt shows rebooting around 03/28/2013, show does alog -t boot -o show about the interface when you rebooted, what does alog -t cfg -o show about this interface

    Hi,GarlandJoseph 

    Thank you very much!

    Your solution works.  The network connection back to normal after I tried below action.

    My action:

    1.Backup ent0 network configuration.

    ifconfig -a

    lsattr -El inet0

    netstat -rn

    2. Delete and re-configure ent0

    #ifconfig en0 down

    #ifconfit ent0 detach

    #rmdev -dl en0

    #rmdev -dl ent0

    #cfgmgr

    #smitty mktcpip  ----> restore the IP/netmask/GW  setting for en0.

     

    Below attached is from alog for ent0.
