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.

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
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.
The figure below shows a sample topology for home agent policy routing. In the figure, 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.

! router mobile ! ip mobile home-agent address 150.150.150.150 lifetime 65535 replay 255 ip mobile vpn-realm company2.com route-map-sequence 10 ip mobile virtual-network 65.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 ip mobile host nai u10@company2.com address 65.1.1.10 virtual-network 65.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 ip mobile host nai u9@company2.com address 65.1.1.9 virtual-network 65.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 ip mobile host nai u2@company1.com address 65.1.1.2 virtual-network 65.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 ip mobile host nai u1@company1.com address 65.1.1.1 virtual-network 65.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 ip mobile secure host nai u2@company1.com spi 100 key hex 12345678123456781234567812345678 ip mobile secure host nai u1@company1.com spi 100 key hex 45678123451234567812367812345678 ip mobile secure host nai u9@company2.com spi 100 key hex 81234567812345678123456712345678 ip mobile secure host nai u10@company2.com spi 100 key hex 23456781234567812345678123456781 ip mobile tunnel route-map moipmap ! access-list 5 permit 65.1.1.10 ! route-map moipmap permit 10 match ip address 5 set interface Ethernet4/4 !
Note | This configuration example shows mobile hosts configured with static IP addresses. Mobile IP policy routing can also be used with dynamically assigned IP addresses. For example, hosts from two different NAI realms can be assigned addresses from the same address pool. |

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.
