DESCRIPTION
The Mobile IPv6 implementation has been integrated as part of the FreeBSD
kernel. It consists of three different parts: The correspondent node,
which is mandatory, must always be included for an IPv6 node to claim
"IPv6 compliance" The home agent part is optional and required if a
router is acting as a home agent at the home network. The mobile node
part is optional and is required by a host (router or host) to be able to
move between different sub-networks while maintaining transport and high-
er layer connections. A node may not act as mobile node and home agent
simultaneously.
The Mobile IPv6 protocol must be supported in the kernel before configu-
ration starts. Please see instructions in
/usr/local/v6/share/doc/kame/{README_MIP6.txt,QUICKSTART}.
The mip6config command is used for configuration of the Mobile IPv6 pro-
tocol.
USAGE
The -a option is for autoconfiguration
OPTIONS
-E address
Remove a foreign address.
-F foreign_address/plen@if
Manually assign a foreign address.
-H home_address/plen@if%ha_addr
Manually assign a home address and a home agent.
-a Enable auto configuration of the home address.
-b bu_lifetime
Set the binding update lifetime.
-d 0|1 Disable/Enable debug messages.
-e 0|1|2
Disable/Enable eager Movement Detection. Two levels are provid-
ed. At level 1 more aggressive parameter settings are used. At
level 2, in addition, new prefixes are taken as indication of
handover, rather than the expiration of the previous default
router.
-f filename
Read configuration from file.
-g Enable Home Agent functionality.
-h Show a simple usage information.
-l hr_lifetime
Set the home registration lifetime.
-m 0|1 Disable/Enable forwarding of Site local Multicast dest addresses.
-p 0|1 Disable/Enable link layer promiscuous mode.
-q 0|1 Disable/Enable sending binding requests to the mobile node.
-r 0|1 Disable/Enable sending binding updates to a correspondent node
(Route optimisation).
-t 0|1 Disable/Enable tunneling of packets from the nobile node to a
correspondent node via the home agent
-u 0|1 Disable/Enable forwarding of Site local Unicast dest addresses
-w br_time
Set the binding request time.
-x De-activate Mobile Node/Home Agent functionality (exit).
EXAMPLES
This section contains some simple examples.
First add this to your kernel config file
options MIP6
options MIP6_DEBUG
To configure and start a Mobile Node, type
# mip6config-H home-addr/64@ep0%home-agent
To configure and start a Home Agent, type
# mip6config-g
