configure pool
Use the configure pool command on Home Agents with AAA Mobile Node clients that
will use dynamic home address assignment. The configure pool command configures a
pool of IP addresses that the Home Agent will assign to AAA Mobile Nodes that request
a home address.
NOTE The Mobile IPv4 protocol suite has no provision for a Mobile Node to return a
dynamically allocated home address to the Home Agent. Refer to “Managing Dynamic
Home Address Pools” on page 70 for more information.
