Description
In AIX, suppose you have an etherchannel (ent2 in this example) which is using ent0 as the primary interface and ent1 as the backup interface and there is a failure on ent0:
# entstat -d ent2 | grep Active
Active channel: backup adapter
Once ent0 comes back up, you will manually need to initiate a failover to make ent0 the primary interface again.
# /usr/lib/methods/ethchan_config -f ent2
Verify:
# entstat -d ent2 | grep Active
Active channel: primary channel
