/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/rc.net

Hope that answers you question. I guess you meant files when you said file systems.

Most networking attributes are stored in AIX's ODM, they are not flat files and it is highly recommended you avoid working with them directly.

for the TCP/IP attributes such as DHCP vs static IP address, check the mktcpip command.

for network adapter attributes such as media access speed (100FD vs Auto-negotiation) check the chdev -l entX ... command. to see a list of modifiable attributes use , lsattr -El entX , where X is the adapter index of your network card (in case of ethernet).

check the enX/etX device attributes to see what u can change for TCP/IP specific parameters; lsattr -El en0 or lsattr -El et0;

there are a bunch of network specific attributes that you can manipulate with the "no" command, use: no -a; to see a list of parameter that u can change.

for routing attributes, check the inet0 device attributes, lsattr -El inet0; for a list of modifiable attributes,....

Note: the fact that you can change them does not mean that it is a good idea to do so.

best regards,
esv.

You got a couple good replies already but this should also help you. This is a good site and all AIX newbies might want to look there before asking questions.
