More good questions - thanks!
We're not using the switch for Netview. It is using the Ethernet adapters.
The sysadmins tell me that IBM told them they cannot disable Kerberos on the
level of code we're running. Not sure why. I'm unaware whether Netview is
using the r commands; I know I'm not in my additional processing (rulesets,
scripts, etc.).
Found the card it set to auto-negotiate, running at 100 full. Surprised them!
That will be corrected.
Which no parameters are you referring to?
One additional question. In the V6.0 Installation and Configuration Guide,
Under Tuning Suggestions for AIX Systems, page 171, it says:
"Tivoli recommends that you set transmit and receive buggers for your network
adapter card as large as allowed for your Tivoli NetView server and Tivoli
NetView client systems".
How does one know how large is allowed? What is taken into account when
determining how high is allowed? Current parameters are 8192 for transmit and
256 for receive. Receive appears to be at maximum. Transmit seems to be set
high, but is not yet at maximum allowed in smit. Should this be increased? To
what level? What other ramifications are there to increasing this?
Again, thanks for all the help!

You didn't say but is your SP2 node running NetView using the switch at
all?
If you have an external ethernet the I would check on disabling kerberos,
which is supposed to only be involved in the "r-commands", ie. rsh, rlogin,
rcp.
If you are using the switch adapter, then you must be using another node
as a router or the switch router. In both cases, check that the no
parameters on your SP2 node are set for the switch and not for an ethernet
or vice versa depending on what interface NetView is using.
Also, insure that your adapters are set for 100Mb/s full-duplex (or 10
Mb/s if that's your ethernet adapter card's speed) and not to
Auto-Negotiate.
