Mobile IP Home Agent Policy Routing

The Mobile IP Home Agent Policy Routing feature supports route maps on Mobile IP tunnels created at the home agent. This feature allows an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide service to multiple customers. While reverse tunneling packets, the home agent looks up where the packet should go. For example, if an address corresponds to a configured network access identifier (NAI) realm name (such as cisco.com), the packet goes out interface 1, which has a connection to the Cisco network. If an address corresponds to another NAI realm name (such as company2.com), the packet goes out interface 2, which has a connection to the Company2 network.

Supported Platforms

Refer to Feature Navigator.

Determining Platform Support Through Cisco Feature Navigator

Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that are supported on specific platforms. To get updated information regarding platform support for this feature, access Cisco Feature Navigator. Cisco Feature Navigator dynamically updates the list of supported platforms as new platform support is added for the feature.

Cisco Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to determine which Cisco IOS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image. You can search by feature or release. Under the release section, you can compare releases side by side to display both the features unique to each software release and the features in common.

To access Cisco Feature Navigator, you must have an account on Cisco.com. If you have forgotten or lost your account information, send a blank e-mail to cco-locksmith@cisco.com. An automatic check will verify that your e-mail address is registered with Cisco.com. If the check is successful, account details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you. Qualified users can establish an account on Cisco.com by following the directions found at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/register

Cisco Feature Navigator is updated regularly when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology releases occur. For the most current information, go to the Cisco Feature Navigator home page at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/fn

Availability of Cisco IOS Software Images

Platform support for particular Cisco IOS software releases is dependent on the availability of the software images for those platforms. Software images for some platforms may be deferred, delayed, or changed without prior notice. For updated information about platform support and availability of software images for each Cisco IOS software release, refer to the online release notes or, if supported, Cisco Feature Navigator.

Prerequisites for Mobile IP Home Agent Policy Routing

Reverse tunnelling must be enabled on both the home agent and foreign agent.

Information About Mobile IP Home Agent Policy Routing

The following sections describe concepts related to Mobile IP home agent policy routing:

•Policy Routing

•Feature Design of Mobile IP Home Agent Policy Routing

Policy Routing

Policy routing is a more flexible mechanism for routing packets than destination routing. Policy routing allows network administrators to implement policies that selectively cause packets to take different paths. The policy can be as simple as not allowing any traffic from a department on a network or as complex as making sure traffic with certain characteristics originating within a network takes path A, while other traffic takes path B.

Policy routing is applied to incoming packets. All packets received on an interface with policy routing enabled are considered for policy routing. The router passes the packets through enhanced packet filters called route maps. The route map determines which packets are routed to which router next. Based on the criteria defined in the route maps, packets are forwarded/routed to the appropriate next hop.

Feature Design of Mobile IP Home Agent Policy Routing

The Mobile IP Home Agent Policy Routing feature allows policy routing for mobile nodes based on the NAI configuration. ISPs can use this feature to route traffic originating from different sets of users, as identified by the NAI realm name, through different Internet connections across the policy routers. When the mobile node registers, entries are added dynamically in the access list pointed to by the route map and the route map is applied to the tunnel interface.

A route map is configured and applied on the Mobile IP tunnel. When a packet arrives on a tunnel interface and policy routing is enabled on that tunnel (route map applied), the packet is checked against the access list configured on the route map.

Figure 1 shows a sample topology for home agent policy routing. In Figure 1, as traffic from u1@company1.com and u10@ company2.com is policy routed, the home agent forwards it per the policy instead of routing directly to the destination address.

Figure 1 Sample Topology for Mobile IP Home Agent Policy Routing

How to Configure Mobile IP Home Agent Policy Routing

This section contains the following procedures:

•Enabling Policy Routing on the Home Agent (required)

•Defining the Route Map (required)

•Verifying Policy Routing on the Home Agent (optional)

Enabling Policy Routing on the Home Agent

6. ip mobile tunnel route-map map-tag

7. ip mobile vpn-realm realm-name route-map-sequence sequence-number

8. ip mobile virtual-network addr mask

9. ip mobile host nai string

10. ip mobile secure host nai string spi spi key hex string

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable
Example:

Router> enable

Enables higher privilege levels, such as privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure {terminal | memory | network}
Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

router mobile
Example:

Router(config)# router mobile

Enables Mobile IP on the router.

Step 4

exit
Example:

Router(config-router)# exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

Step 5

ip mobile home-agent [address ip-address]
Example:

Router(config)# ip mobile home-agent

Enables and controls home agent services on the router.

Step 6

ip mobile tunnel route-map map-tag
Example:

Router(config)# ip mobile tunnel route-map moipmap

Applies the route map to the tunnel.

•The map-tag argument must match that specified in the route-map map-tag command.

Step 7

ip mobile vpn-realm realm-name route-map-sequence sequence-number
Example:

Router(config)# ip mobile vpn-realm corp.com route-map-sequence 20

Defines the VPN realms to be used in home agent policy routing.

•The sequence-number argument must match that configured in the route-map sequence-number command. The allowed sequence number range is from 0-65535.

Step 8

ip mobile virtual-network addr mask
Example:

Router(config)# ip mobile virtual-network 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0

Inserts a virtual network for mobile nodes in the routing table.

•This command allows the mobile nodes to use the virtual network as their home network.

Glossary

home agent—A router that forwards to mobile node or that tunnels packets to the mobile node or mobile router while they are away from home. It keeps current location information for registered mobile nodes called a mobility binding.

NAI—network access identifier. The user ID submitted by the mobile node during registration to identify the user for authentication. The NAI may help route the registration request to the right Home Agent.
