configure router
Use the configure router command on Foreign Agents to configure
router information that the Foreign Agent will advertise to Mobile Nodes in Agent
Advertisements. You can configure up to eight (8) routers for each Foreign Agent
interface.
If a Foreign Agent does not include any router information in Agent Advertisements, a
Mobile Node may use a Care-of Address from the Agent Advertisements or the Foreign
Agent’s source address as a router address.
Syntax
c[onfigure] r[outer] [ interface_name ] [-r router_addr -p preference -n
netmask [-r router_addr -p preference -n netmask ] ...]]
