System Administration Guide: IP Services

How to Configure the Address Section

    Edit the /etc/inet/mipagent.conf file and add or change the following lines by using the values that are required for your configuration.

    • For a mobile node, use the following:


      [Address address]
           Type = node
           SPI = SPI-identifier
      
    • For an agent, use the following:


      [Address address]
           Type = agent
           SPI = SPI-identifier
           IPsecRequest = action {properties} [: action {properties}]
           IPsecReply = action {properties} [: action {properties}]
           IPsecTunnel = action {properties} [: action {properties}]

      action and {properties} are any action and associated properties that are defined in the ipsec(7P) man page.


      Note –

      The SPI that is configured previously corresponds to the MD5 protection mechanism that is required by RFC 2002. The SPI that is configured previously does not correspond to the SPI that is used by IPsec. For more information about IPsec, see Chapter 19, IPsec (Overview) and Chapter 20, Administering IPsec (Task). Also see the ipsec(7P) man page.


    • For mobile node that is identified by its NAI, use the following:


      [Address NAI]
           Type = Node
           SPI = SPI-identifier
           Pool = Pool-identifier
      
    • For default mobile node, use the following:


      [Address Node-Default]
           Type = Node
           SPI = SPI-identifier
           Pool = Pool-identifier
