What does entstat say about the duplex setting?

It's fairly common for managed switch ports to be fixed at 100Mb/s full
duplex. If this is the case the setting in AIX has to match. If AIX is set
to autonegotiate it'll end up at 100Mb/s half duplex. If it shows as half
duplex, try changing it to fixed 100Mb/s full.
