I'm not sure about the differences between Mobile IP and Local
Area Mobility. Without the two commands "ip mobile home-agent"
and "ip mobile foreign-agent" this would be a working LAM
config.

What do those two commands add to this configuration? And, why
would we classify this as Mobile IP instead of LAM?

Back to your config, if this is working correctly you should
see /32 routes for users who have moved to R8. The tricky
thing I noticed is that you can't initiate communication with
them because this is ARP-based. The /32 routes won't be
entered into the config until one of those devices issues an
ARP request.
