Managing mip6config Tool Sessions
Use the mip6config commands in this section to manage mip6config sessions—these commands are not for
configuring specific mip6mod parameter values.
Saving the mip6config Session to a Configuration File: write
Use the write command to save mip6config sessions to configuration files. Before exiting a mip6config
session, you must use the write command to save the information to a configuration file. mip6config saves
the session information to /etc/mip6.conf if you do not specify a filename when using the write command.
mip6config overwrites the existing configuration file if you specify an existing filename.
Abbreviated: w[rite]
Syntax: write [ file name]
Options: file name The fully-qualified (absolute) path of the file to save the mip6config
session to.
Example: mip6config> write /etc/backup-mip6.conf
Exiting the mip6config Session: quit | exit
Use the quit or exit command to end the mip6config session. You must use the write command to save the
session before you can exit the mip6config session. Use the -f option to force mip6config to quit | exit
without saving.
Abbreviated: q[uit] | e[xit]
Syntax: quit [-f] | exit [-f]
Options: -f Forces mip6config session to end without saving the information to a
configuration file.
Example: mip6config> quit -f
Previewing mip6config Commands: overview
Use the overview command for introduction to the mip6config commands. The overview command describes
the mip6mod configuration parameters and mip6config commands for configuring them.
Abbreviated: o[verview]
Syntax: overview
Example: mip6config> overview
mip6mod configurable parameters are grouped in the following three
categories:
- General Parameters, including Log Level and Num mip6mod Instances;
- Binding Cache Parameters, including Max Bindings, Max Home Bindings,
Max Binding Lifetime, Binding Refresh Advice Interval, and Binding
Refresh Request Threshold;
- Error Rate Parameters, including Error Rate Threshold, Max Error
Rate, and Min Error Rate.
