All mip6mod Parameters
Use the mip6config commands described in this section to configure all mip6mod parameters. Refer to “The
Mobile IPv6 Kernel Module Configuration File: /etc/mip6.conf” on page 33, for a description of each
parameter. The mip6config All parameters group includes the following:
• General Parameters
• Binding Cache Parameters
• Error Rate Parameters
Configuring All mip6mod Configuration Parameters: configure all
Use the configure all command to configure all mip6mod General, Binding Cache, and Error Rate
parameters. You can use command options to configure specific mip6mod parameters, or you can omit options
to use the interactive Novice Mode interface.
NOTE Use the \ character, followed by pressing the enter key, to continue commands over multiple
command lines.

log_level
The mip6mod logging level. When you specify a log level, mip6mod logs
messages for that level and all levels above it in the logging hierarchy. For
example, mip6mod logs Warn, Error, and Alert messages if you configure
the log level as Warn. The highest level in the logging hierarchy is Alert;
the lowest level is Debug.
The default value for log level is Error.
The following is a list of the levels in the mip6mod logging hierarchy:
a[lert] Logs messages for critical conditions requiring
immediate attention, for example, exceeding memory
space.
e[rror] Logs messages for error conditions, for example, when
the binding cache reaches maximum capacity. Error
conditions might limit Mobile IPv6 performance, but
might not require immediate attention.
w[arn] Logs messages for warning conditions, for example,
when dynamic configuration occurs.
i[nfo] Logs messages for informational conditions, for example,
when a binding cache is created.
d[ebug] Logs messages for debugging and troubleshooting
conditions, for example, when a mobility route is added.
