ALLOWING NETWORK ACCESS FOR PROXY MOBILE IP CASES FOR NODES THAT DO NOT SUPPORT CHAP AUTHENTICATION

摘要

The disclosed embodiments support proxy Mobile IP registration for nodes that do not implement CHAP. This is accomplished, in part, through the generation of a CHAP challenge and response by either a AAA server or a network device such as a PDSN or Foreign Agent. If the CHAP challenge and response is generated by the AAA server, the AAA server provides the CHAP challenge and response to the network device. In this manner, the network device may generate a Mobile IP registration request based upon the CHAP challenge and response.
