Configures and manages the mobile IPv6 home agent and correspondent node functionality.
mobip6ctrl [ -R ] [ -b ] [ -S { 0 | 1 } ] [ -n { 0 | 1 } ] [ -l LifeTime ] [ -a | -d HomeAddress CareOfAddress MyAddress ]
The mobip6ctrl command is used to configure and manage the mobile IPv6 home agent and correspondent node. It can enable and disable NDP proxy and IP security checking, and it can be used to display or modify the mobile IPv6 binding cache.
NDP proxy must be enabled if the system is configured as a home agent. This allows the home agent to intercept packets addressed to mobile nodes that are not currently on their home network.
IP security checking enables checking to ensure that IP security is used for the Binding Update and Binding Acknowledgement messages sent for mobile IPv6. Because these two types of messages have the ability to affect the routing of packets addressed to a mobile node, they would represent a significant security vulnerability if not protected by IP security. If checking is enabled, the mobile IPv6 home agent or correspondent node will discard any Binding Update or Binding Acknowledgement packets that are not protected by IP security.
The mobile IPv6 binding cache on a home agent or correspondent node maps home addresses to the current care-of addresses for each mobile node. This allows the home agent to tunnel traffic to the mobile node at its current location, and allows a correspondent node to send packets directly to a mobile node at its current location. The mobip6ctrl command can be used to view the binding cache or manually edit it for debugging purposes.
Normally, this command is used from the /etc/rc.mobip6 script when mobile IPv6 has been configured using system management.
You must be the root user or a member of the system group to execute this command.
mobipctrl -S 1 -n 1
mobip6ctrl -bThe output from this command looks similar to the following:
BINDING CACHE LIST (1 elem) Home Address.........: 3ffe:300:20:1102::217 Care-Of Address......: 3ffe:300:20:1101::217 My Address...........: 3ffe:300:20:1102::223 Life time............: 518 Time since last usage: 50 Rate limit time......: 0 Retransmit count.....: 0 Sequence number......: 14 Registered by me.....: 1 Prefix length........: 64
