Chapter 6 Configuring Proxy Mobile IP
Configuring Proxy Mobile IP
• Verified that client devices are associated to the local access point.
• Verified receipt of an appropriate DHCP address for the local LAN segment.
• Confirmed IP connectivity between all devices (ping or HTTP).
Configuring the Authoritative Access Point
Proxy Mobile IP must be enabled on the wireless SSID. Since multiple SSIDs may
exist on the access point and not all SSIDs may have to accommodate mobile
clients, you must enable proxy Mobile IP per SSID. The AAP is used to
communicate with new access points to update subnet map records and send the
new access points a new and complete subnet mapping table. The AAP also
contacts all the other access points listed in the table and sends update packets
containing the changed information. In this way the other access points update
their subnet mapping tables. For example, if a mobile device appears with a “30”
subnet IP address on the “20” subnet, the access point must register the client with
the home agent that services the mobile clients on the “30” subnet.
Follow these steps to configure the authoritative access point.
Step 1 Browse to the access point’s Setup page.
Step 2 In the Associations section, click SSIDs: Int. The AP Radio: Internal Service Sets
page appears.
Step 3 Select the SSID you intend to use by mobile clients and click Edit. The AP Radio:
Internal SSID #x page appears (Figure 6-8).
