Assigning Home Addresses Without NAI
When the Home Agent assigns a home address without using an NAI, the home IP address serves as the
user name for authentication. Static addressing is beneficial because it allows each device to keep the
same address all the time; regardless of where it is attached to the network. You can use this method to
run mobile terminated services without updating the DNS, or some other form of address resolution. It
is also easy to manage MNs with static addressing because the home address and the Home Agent are
always the same. However, provisioning and maintenance are much more difficult with static addressing
because address allocation must be handled manually, and the Home Agent and MN must be updated.
To display a list of home addresses without 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 > Without NAI.
