Mobile Node With a Home Address (Mobile IP Administration Guide)

Mobile IP Administration Guide

Mobile Node With a Home Address

The Address section for a mobile node with a home address contains the Type and SPI labels that define the address type and SPI identifier. The Address section has the following syntax:

[Address address]
     Type = <agent/node>
     SPI = SPI-identifier

You must include an Address section in a home agent's configuration file for each mobile node supported. Mobile nodes have the Type label set to node.

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

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 mobile node with a home address.
