Using mipadmin
This section contains general information about using mipadmin.
Requirements
The mipadmin utility has two run-time requirements:
• You must have superuser capability to run mipadmin.
• The directory /var/adm/mip must exist. The mipadmin utility uses a domain socket
(admin_ipc_socket) in this directory to communicate with the HP-UX Mobile IPv4
daemon (mipd or miprod).
Command Line Options or Interactive Session
You can run mipadmin with command-line options. Alternatively, you can start an
interactive mipadmin session by running mipadmin with no options, and then specify
mipadmin options within the mipadmin session. For example, you can get HP-UX Mobile
IPv4 version information by running mipadmin from the system prompt and specifying
the -version option (user input is shown in bold):
#mipadmin -version
You can get the same information by starting an interactive mipadmin session and then
entering the -version option:
#mipadmin
mipadmin> -version
mipadmin Limits
You can specify multiple mipadmin options, except the -start and -stop options, on a
command line. For example, you can specify the -version and -status options in one
command:
mipadmin> -version -status
The maximum number of run-time or mipadmin command line arguments is 32.
Parameters must have 60 characters or fewer.
