Step 4: (Optional) On the Correspondent Node, Configure IP
Addresses (configure interface)
On the Correspondent Node, you can optionally use the miproconfig configure interface
command to explicitly configure the IP interface address that the route optimization
daemon (miprod) will use as the source address for route optimization tunnels (tunnels
to the Mobile Nodes’ Care-of Addresses). If you do not configure an IP address interface,
miprod will use the IP address configured for the local system’s hostname (the IP
address returned by gethostbyname() for the name that gethostname() returns).
The miproconfig configure interface command syntax is listed below:
c[onfigure] i[nterface] interface_name [-pad primary_address ]
Where:
interface_name is the name of the LAN interface.
primary_address is the primary IP address of the interface, in dotted-decimal notation.
If you do not specify -pad primary_address and the interface is configured for IP
service using ifconfig, miproconfig will use the IP address configured for the
interface.
Examples:
miproconfig> configure interface lan0
You can also use the abbreviated form of the command:
mipconfig> c i lan0
You can also omit all options and miproconfig will prompt you for each option value. For
more information on the configure interface command, refer to “configure interface”
on page 156.
