Configuring Mobile IPv6 Correspondent Nodes

Use the following steps to configure Mobile IPv6 Correspondent Nodes after installing HP-UX Mobile IPv6 on a system:

Use the mip6config tool to configure the parameters in the mip6mod configuration file. Refer to Chapter 4 “Creating Mobile IPv6 Kernel Module Configuration Files with the mip6config Tool” for more information.
Use the mip6admin tool to start and configure mip6mod with the configuration file. Refer to “Starting mip6mod: start” for more information.

NOTE: To avoid the Correspondent Node from dropping Binding Acknowledgment messages while resolving the link layer address of the default router after receiving Binding Update messages, increase the ip6_nd_pending_queue_limit parameter (for example, setting the value to 100). The default setting for this parameter is 5.

Use the following command to set the ip6_nd_pending_queue_limit parameter:

ndd -set /dev/ip6 ip6_nd_pending_queue_limit 100

You can also set the ip6_nd_pending_queue_limit parameter in /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf. Use the following example, where [n] represents the number of entries in /etc/rc.config.d/nddconf:

TRANSPORT_NAME[n]=ip6
NDD_NAME[n]=ip6_nd_pending_queue_limit
NDD_VALUE[n]=100
