If MIP is run as a
mobile node
, the following settings can be configured:
Parameter Mobile IP Configuration
Primary home agent ad-
dress The address of the primary
home agent
Secondary home agent
address The address of the secondary
home agent
. The mobile node
will try to register with this home agent, if the primary
home
agent
is not reachable.
Home address The permanent home address of the
mobile node
which can
be used to reach the mobile router at any time
SPI The Security Parameter Index (SPI) identifying the security
context for the mobile IP tunnel between the
mobile node
and the
home agent
. This is used to distinguish mobile
nodes from each other. Therefore each mobile node needs
to be assigned a unique SPI. This is a 32-bit hexadecimal
value.
Authentication type The used authentication algorithm. This can be prefix-
suffix-md5 (default for MIP) or hmac-md5.
Shared secret The shared secret used for authentication of the
mobile
node
at the
home agent
. This can be either a 128-bit hex-
adecimal value or a random length ASCII string.
Life time The lifetime of security associations in seconds
UDP encapsulation Specifies whether UDP encapsulation shall be used or not.
To allow NAT traversal, UDP encapsulation must be en-
abled.
Mobile network address Optionally specifies a subnet which should be routed to the
mobile node
. This information is forwarded via Network
Mobility (NEMO) extensions to the
home agent
. The
home
agent
can then automatically add IP routes to the subnet
via the
mobile node
. Note that this feature is not sup-
ported by all third party
home agent
implementations.
Mobile network mask The network mask for the optional routed network
