We recently brought in a new client and as such had to add a route to their remote server for sftp connection. The route was added incorrectly (wrong interface) and now we can't seem to remove it. My apologies in advance, our AIX administrator recently left the company and I have no experience with it. I am able to view the route with the SMIT ROUTE command however no matter what I enter in the "remove route" menu I cannot remove it.

Here is how the route appears in SMIT:

204.138.99/24 172.16.1.1 UG 0 23 en1 - -

These are the options in the Remove Static Route menu:
Entry Fields
Destination TYPE net

• DESTINATION Address []

(dotted decimal or symbolic name)

• Default GATEWAY Address []

(dotted decimal or symbolic name)
Network MASK (hexadecimal or dotted decimal) []
Please help! Thanks.

find the line where the route is that you want to delete. it will start with route=

do delete it, do
chdev -l inet0 -a delroute=XXX
where XXX is everything you see behind "route=" in above lsattr output

I ran the command "lsattr -El inet0" and I did not find any routes listed for that IP address unfortunately. Any other ideas?
