Modifying the Mobile IP Configuration File

This section shows you how to modify the Mobile IP configuration file by using the mipagentconfig command. This section also shows you how to display the current settings of parameter destinations.

Configuring the Mobility IP Agent provides a conceptual description of the mipagentconfig command's usage. You can also review the mipagentconfig(1M) man page.

How to Modify the `General` Section

Assume the Primary Administrator role, or become superuser on the system where you want to enable 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.
On a command line, type the following command for each label that you want to modify in the General section.
```
# mipagentconfig change <label> <value>
```

Example 28-1 Modifying a Parameter in the General Section

The following example shows how you might change the version number in the configuration file's General section.

How to Modify the `Address` Section

Assume the Primary Administrator role, or become superuser, on the system where you want to enable 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.
Type the following command for each label that you want to modify in the Address section:
```
# mipagentconfig change addr [NAI | IPaddr | node-default] <label> <value>
```
See Address Section for a description of the three configuration methods (NAI, IP address, and node-default).
For example, if you are changing the SPI of IP address 10.1.1.1 to 258, use the following command:
```
# mipagentconfig change addr 10.1.1.1 SPI 258
```

Example 28-6 Modifying the Address Section

```
# mipagentconfig [add | delete] <label> <value>
```
- For the Advertisements section use the following:
```
# mipagentconfig [add | delete] adv device-name <label> <value>
```
  Note - You can add an interface by typing the following:
```
# mipagentconfig add adv device-name
```
  In this instance, default values are assigned to the interface (for both the foreign agent and the home agent).
- For the GlobalSecurityParameters, section use the following:
```
# mipagentconfig [add | delete] <label> <value>
```
- For the Pool section, use the following:
```
# mipagentconfig [add | delete] Pool pool-identifier <label> <value>

# mipagentconfig [add | delete] SPI SPI-identifier <label> <value>
```
- For the Address section, use the following:
```
# mipagentconfig [add | delete] addr [NAI | IP-address | node-default] \
<label> <value>
```
Note - Do not create identical Advertisements, Pool, SPI, and Address sections.

Example 28-7 Modifying File Parameters

For example, to create a new address pool, Pool 11, that has a base address of 192.167.1.1 and a size of 100, use the following commands.

# mipagentconfig add Pool 11 BaseAddress 192.167.1.1

How 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.

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.
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
```
