Sample Configuration Files (Mobile IP Administration Guide)

Mobile IP Administration Guide

Sample Configuration Files

The default Solaris installation provides the following sample configuration files in the /etc/inet directory:

mipagent.conf-sample-Contains a sample configuration for a Mobile IP agent that provides both foreign and home agent functionality.
mipagent.conf.fa-sample-Contains a sample configuration for a Mobile IP agent that provides only foreign agent functionality.
mipagent.conf.ha-sample-Contains a sample configuration for a Mobile IP agent that provides only home agent functionality.

These sample configuration files contain sample mobile node address and security settings. Before you can implement Mobile IP, you must create a configuration file with the name mipagent.conf and place it in the /etc/inet directory. This file contains the configuration settings that satisfy your Mobile IP implementation requirements. You can also choose one of the sample configuration files, modify it with your addresses and security settings, and copy it to /etc/inet/mipagent.conf.

"How to Create the Mobile IP Configuration File" shows the procedures to perform.

`mipagent.conf-sample` File

The following listing shows the sections, labels, and values contained in the mipagent.conf-sample file. "Configuration File Sections and Labels" describes the syntax, sections, labels, and values.

Example-`mipagent.conf.fa-sample` File

The following listing shows the sections, labels, and values contained in the mipagent.conf.fa-sample file. "Configuration File Sections and Labels" describes the syntax, sections, labels, and values. The mipagent.conf.fa-sample file shows a configuration that provides only foreign agent functionality. This sample file does not contain a Pool section, because pools are used only by a home agent. Otherwise, this file is the same as the mipagent.conf-sample file.
