ProcedureHow to Display Current Parameter Values in the Configuration File

You can use the mipagentconfig get command to display current settings that are associated with parameter destinations.

  1. Assume the Primary Administrator role, or become superuser, on the system where you are enabling Mobile IP.

    The Primary Administrator role includes the Primary Administrator profile. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

  2. Type the following command for each parameter for which you want to display settings:


    # mipagentconfig get [<parameter> | <label>]

    For example, if you are displaying the advertisement settings for the hme0 device, use the following command:


    # mipagentconfig get adv hme0

    As a result, the following output might be displayed:


    [Advertisements hme0]
   HomeAgent = yes
   ForeignAgent = yes
