System Administration Guide: IP Services

How to Configure the `Advertisements` Section

Advertisements Section provides descriptions of the labels and values that are used in this 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.

[Advertisements interface]
     HomeAgent = <yes/no>
     ForeignAgent = <yes/no>
     PrefixFlags = <yes/no>
     AdvertiseOnBcast = <yes/no>
     RegLifetime = n
     AdvLifetime = n
     AdvFrequency = n
     ReverseTunnel = <yes/no/FA/HA/both>
     ReverseTunnelRequired = <yes/no/FA/HA>

Note - You must include a different Advertisements section for each interface on the local host that provides Mobile IP services.

How to Configure the `GlobalSecurityParameters` Section

GlobalSecurityParameters Section provides descriptions of the labels and values that are used in this 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:

[GlobalSecurityParameters]
     MaxClockSkew = n
     HA-FAauth = <yes/no>
     MN-FAauth = <yes/no>
     Challenge = <yes/no>
     KeyDistribution = files

How to Configure the `Pool` Section

Pool Section provides descriptions of the labels and values that are used in this section:

Edit the /etc/inet/mipagent.conf file
Add or change the following lines by using the values that are required for your configuration:
[Pool pool-identifier] BaseAddress = IP-address Size = size

How to Configure the `SPI` Section

SPI Section provides descriptions of the labels and values that are used in this section.

Edit the /etc/inet/mipagent.conf file.
Add or change the following lines by using the values that are required for your configuration:
[SPI SPI-identifier] ReplayMethod = <none/timestamps> Key = key
Note - You must include a different SPI section for each security context that is deployed.

How to Configure the `Address` Section

Address Section provides descriptions of the labels and values that are used in this section.

Edit the /etc/inet/mipagent.conf file.

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}]

where 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, IP Security Architecture (Overview) and Chapter 20, Configuring IPsec (Tasks). Also see the ipsec(7P) man page.

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

[Address NAI]
     Type = Node
     SPI = SPI-identifier
     Pool = pool-identifier

For a default mobile node, use the following:

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

Modifying the Mobile IP Configuration File

This section shows you how to modify the Mobile IP configuration file by using the mipagentconfig command. This section also shows you how to display the current settings of parameter destinations.

Configuring the Mobility IP Agent provides a conceptual description of the mipagentconfig command's usage. You can also review the mipagentconfig(1M) man page.
