Home Address Assignment

You can statically or dynamically assign IP addresses to a mobile station. A static IP address is an address that is pre-assigned to the mobile station, and sometimes pre-configured at the mobile device. The Home Agent can assign a home address to the mobile node based on the user Network Access Identifier (NAI) received during Mobile IP registration, or without using an NAI.

Assigning Home Addresses With NAI, page 4-19

Assigning Home Addresses Without NAI, page 4-23

Assigning Home Addresses With NAI

The Home Agent can assign a home address to the mobile node based on the user NAI that was received during mobile IP registration. The NAI is the user ID that the client submits during PPP authentication and is with the syntax username@realm. You can define an NAI string for a single user (username@realm) or a domain (@realm). The NAI identifies the user as well as assists the routing of the authentication request. Static home addressing can be used in conjunction with NAI to support a NAI-based authorization and other services.

You must be authorized to use an address before the registration will be accepted. Addresses can be authorized locally, or through an AAA server. If an MN requests an address that is already associated with a binding that has a different NAI, the Home Agent will attempt to return another address from the pool; unless the command is set.

To display a list of home addresses with NAI configured in the HA Service Manager:

Step 1 Choose a device group (Choose Service Manager > Select Group). See Selecting an HA Device Group, page 4-3.

Step 2 Choose HA Service Manager > Service Activation > Home Address Assignment > With NAI.
