Mobile IP Status

This informational field indicates whether proxy Mobile IP is enabled or disabled.

Home Agents

This informational field provides information about home agents the access point discovers on its own subnet. If a home agent is discovered, its IP address is displayed. If multiple home agents are discovered, their IP addresses are displayed. If no agent is discovered, the displays Not Found.

Foreign Agents

This informational field provides information about foreign agents it discovers on the access point discovers on the network. If a foreign agent is discovered, its IP address is displayed. If multiple foreign agents are discovered, their IP addresses are displayed. If no agent is discovered, the field displays Not Found.

Active AAP

This informational field lists the IP address of the active authoritative access point.

MN IP Addresses

This informational field lists the IP addresses of the mobile nodes, which are client devices that the access point is servicing.

Solicitations Sent

The number of agent solicitations messages the access point has sent. If the access point does not hear advertisements, it sends a solicitation message requesting a foreign or home agent acknowledgement. The solicitation forces any agents on the link to immediately send an agent advertisement.

Authentication Failures for HA

The number of times the home agent rejected registration requests because of authentication failures, such as an invalid SPI or group key. When a mobile node moves to a foreign network, the access point registers the mobile node to its home agent. This statistic indicates the number of registration failures caused by failure of the home agent or foreign agent to authenticate each other or the mobile node.

Registration Requests Sent

The number of registration requests sent by the access point for the mobile node.

Registration Request Denied by FA

The number of times a foreign agent rejected a registration request. When a mobile node moves to a foreign network, the access point registers the mobile node to its home agent. This statistic indicates the number of registration requests that were denied by the foreign agent. The reasons for denial vary and include home agent unreachable, no resources found, among other reasons.

Advertisements Received

The number of IRDP advertisements received by agents.

Registration Request Successes

The number of times registration requests were successful.

Authentication Failures for FA

The number of times the foreign agent rejected registration requests because of mobile node or home agent authentication failures.

Deregister Requests Sent

The number of times the access point sent deregistration requests to the home agent.

Deregister Replies Received

The number of times the access point received deregistration replies from the home agent.

Registration Requests Denied by HA

The number of times the home agent rejected registration requests.

Gratuitous ARPs Sent

The number of times the access point sent gratuitious Address Resolution Protocol messages (ARPs). Gratuitious ARPs are sent by the home agent on behalf of a roaming mobile node to update the ARP caches on the local hosts. When the mobile node returns to its home network, the home access point sends gratuitious ARPs (on behalf of the mobile node) to notify the network of the mobile node’s MAC and IP address. In addition, the home agent also issues gratuitious ARPs for the mobile node in case there are nodes who could not hear the mobile node.
