Advanced Services Pages and Field Descriptions
This document section describes the contents, parameters, and default settings for all Advanced Services
components in Aruba Configuration. Aruba Configuration in AWMS 6.3 supports advanced services such as
IP Mobility and VPN services. Future AWMS versions will support additional advanced services.
For additional information about IP Mobility domains, VPN services, and additional architecture or
concepts, refer to your version of the ArubaOS User Guide.
Overview of IP Mobility Domains
Aruba’s layer-3 mobility solution is based on the Mobile IP protocol standard, as described in RFC 3344, “IP
Mobility Support for IPv4”. This standard addresses users who need both network connectivity and mobility
within the work environment.
Unlike other layer-3 mobility solutions, an Aruba mobility solution does not require that you install mobility
software or perform additional configuration on wireless clients. The Aruba controllers perform all
functions that enable clients to roam within the mobility domain.
In a mobility domain, a mobile client is a wireless client that can change its point of attachment from one
network to another within the domain. A mobile client receives an IP address (a home address) on a home
network. A mobile client can detach at any time from its home network and reconnect to a foreign network
(any network other than the mobile client’s home network) within the mobility domain. When a mobile
client is connected to a foreign network, it is bound to a care-of address that reflects its current point of
attachment. A care-of address is the IP address of the Aruba controller in the foreign network with which
the mobile client is associated.
