There are no “standard” procedures that describe how to configure these agent
access points. Configuration parameters, such as SSIDs, valid proxy Mobile IP
addresses, SPI keys and group keys, and security settings must be carefully
considered and coordinated with wired side router settings before any degree of
success can be expected. The basic settings are the same for both access points.
The only difference is where the access point is located. A home agent access
point is on the wireless side of the mobile node’s home network. A foreign agent
access point is on the wireless side of the network the mobile node is authorized
to enter in order to communicate back to its home network.
These instructions provide a general overview of the steps involved to configure
the wireless network components to operate in a mobile IP environment. It must
be stressed that the majority of configuration effort is devoted to components on
the wired network.
Follow these steps to configure a home or foreign agent access point.
Step 1 Configure the access point normally (SSID, security, etc.).
Step 2 From the Associations section of the Setup page, select the SSID for the radio you
are configuring. The Service Set Summary Status page appears.

Step 12 Enter the starting and ending IP addresses of the range of IP addresses designated
as valid mobile node addresses.
