Configuration Commands for Foreign Agent
To enable Mobile IP services on your network, you must determine which home agents will facilitate the
tunneling for selected IP address, and where these devices or router will be allowed to roam. The areas,
or subnets, into which the hosts are allowed to roam determine where foreign agent services need to be
set up.
The foreign agent commands allow you to configure foreign agents in your network. Please note that
these commands are available only for Cisco ASR 5000 Mobile devices.
These commands can be launched from the logical inventory by choosing the
Context > Commands > Configuration or Context > Commands > Show.
Before executing any commands, you can preview them and view the results. If desired, you can also
schedule the commands.
The table below lists the FA commands. Additional commands may be available for your devices. New
commands are often provided in Prime Network Device Packages, which can be downloaded from the
Prime Network software download site. For more information on how to download and install DPs and
enable new commands, see the information on “Adding Additional Device (VNE) support” in the Cisco
Prime Network 4.0 Administrator Guide.
Note You might be prompted to enter your device access credentials while executing a command. Once you
have entered them, these credentials will be used for every subsequent execution of a command in the
same GUI client session. If you want to change the credentials, click Edit Credentials. The Edit
Credentials button will not be available for SNMP commands or if the command is scheduled for a later
time.
Table 25-51 lists the Foreign Agent configuration commands.
