Step 3: Configure Foreign Agent Services (configure interface)
Use the mipconfig configure interface command to configure Foreign Agent
services for one or more network interfaces. In most cases, you can use the default values
for the operating parameters and you only need to specify the interface and Foreign
Agent services. You can do this with following syntax for the configure interface
command:
c[onfigure] i[nterface] interface_name -service FA
Where:
interface_name is the name of the LAN interface.
For example, if you want to configure a node to be a Foreign Agent using lan0, you would
enter the following mipconfig command:
mipconfig> configure interface lan0 -service FA
You can also use the abbreviated form of the command:
mipconfig> c i lan0 -s FA
You can also omit all options and mipconfig will prompt you for each option value. You
can also use the configure interface command to configure IP address,
advertisement, and challenge window options. For more information on the configure
interface command, refer to “configure interface” on page 127.
If the interface will also provide Home Agent services (the node will act as a combined
Home Agent and Foreign Agent through this interface), specify the combined HA and FA
service. For example:
mipconfig> configure interface lan0 -service HAFA
For additional information on configuring combined Home and Foreign Agents, refer to
“Configuring a Combined Home and Foreign Agent” on page 65.
