We had the same problem - had to force the ethernet card and the switch
port to 100 Full instead of auto. To set the card:
- smitty tcpip/further config/network interfaces/selection/change: set
interface to detach
- smitty devices/communications/Ethernet/adapter/change: set speed and full
- smitty tcpip/further config/network interfaces/selection/change: set
interface to up
- re-establist static routs removed by detach.
