HP-UX Mobile IPv6 A.01.00 Administrator's Guide

Chapter 3

Getting Started with HP-UX Mobile IPv6

Overview

Before deploying your Mobile IPv6 configuration, decide which systems in your environment require Home

Agent support and which systems require Correspondent Node support. Deploy Home Agents in locations

where providing mobility services to Mobile Nodes is the primary function. The primary Correspondent Node

function is providing Route Optimization support on an IPv6 system that will communicate with Mobile

Nodes.

The following information describes the components, tools, and files to use when you administer Mobility

Support in HP-UX IPv6.
