Configuring Proxy Mobile IP
Proxy Mobile IP functions as a proxy on behalf of roaming clients that do not
implement a Mobile IP software stack. In a Mobile IP environment, the access
point uses the services of a home agent and a foreign agent to allow valid mobile
nodes to access a working Mobile IP network on a wired LAN. A working Mobile
IP network assumes the following:
• At least one router in the network functions as a home agent where mobile
clients will be based.
• At least one router in the network functions as a foreign agent, to which
mobile clients will roam.
• Access points configured as authoritative access points must be enabled for
proxy Mobile IP before regular access points.
• All proxy Mobile IP enabled access points in the network must be configured
to use the same authoritative access points. For example, one access point
cannot be configured with two authoritative access points and another access
point be configured with three different authoritative access points.
Optionally, you can implement an AAA server to authenticate mobile clients in
addition to home and foreign agents.
