METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS CONFIGURATION

摘要

An IP(Internet Protocol) address setup method and a device therefor are provided to previously obtain information on an IP address setup method used in a new network from an IS(Information Server), and to set the obtained information to priority to perform IP address setup, thereby preventing unnecessary delay from occurring. Information on an IP address setup method of a new network after handover is obtained through an IS(S100), and IP address setup is performed by using the IP address setup method while a mobile node accesses the new network(S110). The information on the IP address setup method of the new network includes information indicating that the IP address setup method is IPv6(IP version 6) stateless address configuration which uses IPv6 address automatic setup.
