Verification and Troubleshooting Tools Overview
You can use the following tools to verify and troubleshoot HP-UX Mobile IPv4:
• mipadmin
The mipadmin utility reports status and version information, statistics and protocol
information, such as Mobile Node Care-of Addresses (bindings), visiting Mobile
Nodes, and tunnels. It also manages event log levels, extracts Mobile IPv4 event log
messages from syslog.
• syslog Event Logging
The HP-UX Mobile IPv4 daemons mipd and miprod send event log messages to the
HP-UX syslog utility. You can use mipadmin options to manage log levels and
extract Mobile IPv4 event log messages from syslog.
• nettl and netfmt Packet Tracing and Format
You can trace Mobile IPv4 protocol packets using nettl (network tracing utility).
The netfmt (network trace formatting) utility formats the Mobile IPv4 protocol
packets and present the packets in human-readable form, with protocol information
labeled.
The following sections contain information about using the above tools.
