switched ethernet interfaces

[Jerome Draper <jdraper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It appears that the model 830 at V5R1 has mysteriously switched ethernet 
interfaces that are used for outbound network connections.  I cannot seem to 
find any failure in qhst or qsysopr msgq.

We have three ethernet adapters in this AS400 all running TCP/IP.  The default 
gateway (172.16.1.1) is in the same subnet as two of them (172.16.1.10 and 
172.16.1.13).  The first one, 172.16.1.10, up until now, had been used for 
outbound network connections.  Now or all of the sudden the AS400 has started 
using the other adapter 172.16.1.13.  Why?  How could this be?

The fully qualified domain name is (now?) tied to the 172.16.1.13 adapter.

How could this have changed and where would I find evidence of when and why 
this happened?  Nothing in qhst or qsysopr msgq.

Perplexed.
