Problem with high speed switch on node in SP2

Question:

Problem with high speed switch on node in SP2

Response:

Desc: The customer was having a problem with his switch.
He can ping other switch adapters but he can not ping one 
of his nodes.  If we do an ifconfig we see the following:
css0: flags=20000c1\
        inet X.XX.XX.XXX netmask 0xffffffc0

His other nodes have the following:
css0: flags=20000c1\
        inet X.XX.XX.XXX  netmask 0xffffffc0

This means that he has ARP enabled on the node that is 
not working correctly.  I had him run the following command
to fix the node.
/usr/lpp/ssp/css/ifconfig css0 -arp
This allowed all the nodes to be able to communicate correctly.
I also faxed out the following commands so that the customer can
fix his ODM entries for ARP on the HPS adapter.

This is what you need to do to fix the ODM on your node:

odmget -q "name=css and attribute=arp_enabled" CuAt > /tmp/out.file
This file will look like this:
CuAt:
        name = "css"
        attribute = "arp_enabled"
        value = "yes"
        type = "R"
        generic = "DU"
        rep = "s"
        nls_index = 0

you will need to 'vi' the file and change it to look like this:
CuAt:
        name = "css"
        attribute = "arp_enabled"
        value = "no"                      \<--------Note this line
        type = "R"
        generic = "DU"
        rep = "s"
        nls_index = 0

After this run the following command to put the changed value
into the ODM:

odmchange -o CuAt -q "name=css and attribute=arp_enabled" /tmp/out.file

Next: closing call.
