Step 1: Installation and Configuration Prerequisites
1. Check that the operating system has been upgraded to HP-UX version 11i.
To obtain OS information, execute the command:
uname -a
To obtain patch information, execute the command:
swlist -i or
what /stand/vmunix | grep PHNE
2. Verify that all dependent HP-UX patches have been installed:
• PHNE_28089 or later HP-UX 11i ARPPA Transport patch.
• PHNE_28388 or later HP-UX 11i DLPI patch.
• PHNE_28444 or later HP-UX 11i netfmt patch. This patch is optional. This
patch is not required to install or operate the product. This patch allows netfmt
to format Mobile IPv4 packets. HP recommends that you install this patch.
Without this patch, netfmt will display Mobile IPv4 packets as hexadecimal
values.
3. Verify that the underlying network infrastructure (IP interfaces, routing table, etc.)
have been properly configured.
4. Verify that your system has enough memory and disk space to install the product.
You will need 3.0 Mbytes (or less) of memory and 2.0 Mbytes (or less) of disk space to
run and install the Mobile IPv4 product.
To obtain system memory information, execute the command: vmstat -n
To obtain system disk space information, execute the command: bdf
5. In order to install the Mobile IPv4 product, you must be logged in as the root user.
