Reporting mip6mod and rtradvd Configuration Information: getconfiguration

Use the getconfigration command to list general mip6mod and rtradvd information, for example; if the node is a Home Agent and the name of rtradvd configuration file.

Abbreviated:

g[etconfiguration]

Syntax:

getconfiguration

Example:

mip6admin -getconfiguration

Reporting mip6mod and rtradvd Prefix Information: prefixes

Use the prefixes command to list prefix information from mip6mod and rtradvd displayed in a side-by-side format. For each prefix, the list displays mip6mod information followed by rtradvd information in parenthesis. The list will display the entry as unknown if the entity does not report it. The following is a list of prefix information reported for prefix:

  • interface name and address

  • prefix and flag

  • preferred and valid lifetimes

Abbreviated:

p[refixes]

Syntax:

prefixes

Example:

mip6admin -prefixes

Valid Time: 2592000 (2592000)
Preferred Lifetime: 604800 (604800)
Flags: H (H)

Reporting or Reset mip6mod Binding Cache Information: bindings

Use the bindings command to view or delete the mip6mod binding cache entries. The bindings command displays the following information for each binding cache entry mip6mod maintains:

  • Mobile Node home address

  • Mobile Node care-of address

  • Binding sequence number

  • Binding update flags

  • Binding lifetime

Abbreviated:

b[indings]

Syntax:

bindings [-list home_address] [-delete home_address]

Options:

-l[ist] home_address


Lists the binding information for the specified mobile node home address.

-d[elete] home_address


Deletes the binding cache entry for the specified mobile node home address.

CAUTION: Use the bindings -delete command with caution, as resetting a binding cache entry of a Mobile Node will severley effect Mobile IPv6 operation.

Example:

mip6admin bindings -l bbbb:bb:bb:0:0:0:0:2

Binding Cache Entry
**********************************************************************
Home Address: bbbb:bb:bb:0:0:0:0:2
Care-of Address: 8888:88:0:0:0:0:0:2
Binding Update Sequence Number: 2750
Lifetime (secs): 295
Binding Update Flags: A H K

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

Reporting and Resetting mip6mod Statistical Counters: statistics

Use the statistics command to report and reset (clear) the mip6mod General, Binding, and Return Routability statistics. The statistics command reports mip6mod statistics if the -reset option is not used. To report or reset on all counters, do not specify any of the individual mip6mod counters.

Abbreviated:

stat[istics]

Syntax:

statistics [-reset] [-general] [-bindings] [-rr]

Options:

-re[set]

Resets the mip6mod statistic counters. This must be the first option used. The statistic command performs reports mip6mod statistic counters in -reset is not used.

-g[eneral]

General Mobility Header statistic counters including the number and types of messages sent and received, etc.

-b[indings]

Binding Update statistic counters including the number and type of Binding Error and Acknowledgement messages sent, etc.

-rr

Return Routability statistic counters including Home and Care-of Test messages, and Home and Care-of Test Init messages.

Example:

Reporting mip6mod Return Routability Statistics

mip6admin -statistics -rr

*********************************************************************
Home Test Init Errors: 10
Bad Length: 5
Presence of Home Address Option: 5
Care-of Test Init Errors: 6
Bad Length: 3
Presence of Home Address Option: 3

Resetting mip6mod Return Routability Statistics

mip6admin -statistics -reset -rr

Reporting rtradvd Statistical Counters: rtradvstatistics

Use the rtradvdvstatistics command to report and reset (clear) the rtradvd statistics, including the total count and errors for Router Advertisement, Dynamic Home Agent Address Discovery, and Prefix solicitations—on an interface by interface basis. The statistics command reports mip6mod statistics if the -reset option is not used. Do not specify an interface_name to report or reset statistics for all rtradvd interface.

Abbreviated:

rt[radvstatistics]

Syntax:

rtradvstatistics [-reset] [-i interface_name]

Options:

-re[set]

Resets the mip6mod statistic counters. This must be the first option used. The statistic command performs reports mip6mod statistic counters in -reset is not used.

-i interface_name


The interface name to report or reset statistics for. Repeat this option to simultaneously report multiple interfaces.

Example:

mip6admin -rtradvstatistics

Viewing syslogd Events Logged by mip6mod: logevents

Use the logevents command to view syslogd events logged by mip6mod. The logevents command will display the events when mip6mod is running, and also when it is not running.

Abbreviated:

l[ogevents]

Syntax:

logevents [-file log_file] [-level log_level]

Options:

-f[ile] log_file


The fully-qualified (absolute) path of the syslogd logfile to view. If the -f option is not used, the logevents command displays /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log by default.

-l[evel] log_level


Indicates a specific level of the events to display. Repeat this option to view multiple levels of events. If the -l option is not used, the logevents command displays the events logged for all levels. 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.

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 entry is created.

d[ebug]

Logs messages for debugging and troubleshooting conditions, for example, when a mobility route is added.

Example:

    mip6admin -logevents -l warn
