configure coa
Use the configure coa command on Foreign Agents to configure Care-of Addresses to
advertise to Mobile Nodes in Agent Advertisements.
Configuring a Care-of Address is optional. If you do not explicitly configure a Care-of
Address using the configure coa command, mipconfig will configure the address for
the Foreign Agent interface as the Care-of Address.
If the system is multi-homed (it has more than one IP address), you may want to use the
configure coa command to explicitly configure the IP address of the fastest interface as
the Care-of Address for all Foreign Agent interfaces.
Syntax
c[onfigure] c[oa] [interface_name][fa_care-of_address
[fa_care-of_address]...]
Parameters
interface_name Name of an interface with Foreign Agent services.
Acceptable Values: The name of a LAN interface that is configured
on the system (ifconfig UP, not POINTOPOINT or LOOPBACK).
mipconfig Default: None. If you do not specify a value, mipconfig
will operate in novice mode.
mipd Daemon Default: None.
fa_care-of_address
IP address that will be included in FA advertisements.
You can specify a maximum of eight fa_care-of_address entries for
an interface.
The mipconfig utility will print a warning if fa_care-of_address
does not match the primary address of any interface configured on the
system (ifconfig UP, not POINTOPOINT or LOOPBACK).
Acceptable Values: IP address in dotted-decimal notation.
mipconfig Default: IP address for the interface.
mipd Daemon Default: None, but at least one is required if Foreign
Agent Services are configured
