The following diagram illustrates Mobile IP (roaming across routers):
Set the MU for Mobile IP as specified in the MU user documentation.
Security has become a concern to mobile users. Enabling the
Mobile-Home
MD5 key
option in the
System Configuration
menu generates a 16-byte
checksum authenticator
using an
MD5 algorithm
. The MU and AP share the
checksum,
called a
key,
to authenticate transmitted messages between them.
The AP and MU share the key while the MU is visiting a foreign subnet.
The MU and AP have to use the same key. If not, the AP refuses to become
the
Home Agent
for the MU. The maximum key length is 13 characters.
The AP allows all printable characters.
