APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When an alias IP is added to an interface with firstalias keyword, routing entry is updated with the newly added alias IP address if it is in the same subnet as the existing IP address of the interface. When the 2nd alias IP of the same subnet is added, netstat -rn does not give the updated route entry with the new IP address as its gateway. But, outgoing packets use the correct source IP address.
Local fix
Problem summary
netstat -rn is showing wrong route entry after adding the 2nd alias IP with firstalias keyword.
Problem conclusion
Extra condition is added to check if newly added gateway is different from the existing one. If it is different, then make the newly added IP as the gateway.
Temporary fix
