Step 5: Configure IP Address Pools for Dynamic Home Addresses
(configure pool)
If you have AAA Mobile Node clients and you want to support dynamic home address
allocation, configure a pool of dynamic home addresses for each interface on which you
will support this feature. Use the mipconfig configure pool command:
c[onfigure] p[ool] interface_name [ip_address] [num_addr]
Where:
interface_name is the name of the LAN interface with Home Agent services.
ip_address is the IP address that the Home Agent can dynamically allocate to a Mobile
Node.
num_addr is the number of addresses in the pool, starting from and including
ip_address. If you do not specify num_addr, the pool will contain only ip_address.
You can also omit all options and mipconfig will prompt you for each option value. For
more information on the configure pool command, refer to “configure pool” on
page 132.
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.
