System Administration Guide: IP Services

Mobility Agent

The Address section for a mobility agent contains the Type and SPI labels that define the address type and SPI identifier. The Address section for a mobility agent has the following syntax:


[Address address]
     Type = agent
     SPI = SPI-identifier
     

You must include an Address section in a home agent's configuration file for each mobility agent that is supported.

If Mobile IP message authentication is required between the foreign agent and the home agent, you must include an Address section for each peer with which an agent needs to communicate.

The SPI value that you configure must represent an SPI section that is present in the configuration file.

The following table describes the labels and values that you can use in the Address section for a mobility agent.
