Etherchannel Cannot Fail Over

[Einstein47]

I have an old B50 AIX box that I use for personal development. When it reboots, I have to dig out my old IBM 3151 term to enable the en2 interface. The en0 fails and the message I get in the errpt is "ETHERCHANNEL CANNOT FAIL OVER".

Is there anyway I can just set en2 as the primary interface, or copy the en2 interface definition to en0? I really worry that if my dumb terminal finally dies, I'll be out of luck for reboots.

Thanks in Advance,

if you don't need etherchannel/nib confoigurtion yoi can unconfigure it and use plane ent

smitty etherchannel
should help you to do it.

when phys ents are released from etherchannel cofiguration, you can configure IP on desired enX either by "smitty chinet" or "smitty tcpip
