Resetting mip6mod Prefix and Binding Cache Lists: flush
Use the flush command to reset (clear) mip6mod prefix and binding cache lists. Use an option to specify
which list to reset. mip6mod resets both lists if you do not specify which list to reset. mip6admin requires you
to confirm this command before resetting the mip6mod prefix and binding cache lists.
CAUTION Use the flush command with caution, as resetting the mip6mod prefix and binding cache lists
on a Home Agent will severley effect Mobile IPv6 operation.
Abbreviated: f[lush]
Syntax: flush [-force] [-bindings] [-prefixes]
Options: -f[orce] Forces the flush command and resets the specified mip6mod list without
prompting you to confirm. You must specify which mip6mod list to reset,
and force must be the first option used. mip6admin will not reset either
list if you do not specify a list with the force option.
-b[indings] Resets all mip6mod binding cache entries.
-p[refixes] Resets mip6mod prefix lists for all interfaces.
Example: mip6admin -flush -prefixes
Delete all prefix list entries? (no): y
Reporting rtradvd Home Agent Lists: halist
Use the halist command to report rtradvd Home Agent lists, including location, lifetime, and global and
link-level local addresses. The halist command reports the Home Agent lists for all interfaces in rtradvd if no
options are used.
Abbreviated: h[alist]
Syntax: halist [-i
interface_name
]
Options: -i
interface_name
The interface name to report Home Agent list for. Repeat this option to
simultaneously report multiple interfaces.
Example: mip6admin -halist
