mobile node
A dial-up host or router that changes its point of attachment from one network
or subnetwork to another, and performs the functions as defined in the IP
Mobility Draft Standard Specification. In the Dial VPN environment, the
mobile node functions are implemented as a proxy agent within the Remote
Annex so that the behavior of a mobile node is simulated for each remote node
that has established a connection to the Remote Annex.
NAS
The gateway serves as a network access server (NAS); that is, it provides a
service to the dial-in user, such as PPP or Telnet. The NAS is a client of the
RADIUS server on the home/corporate network. The client is responsible for
passing user information to the designated RADIUS server.
NCP
Network Control Protocol. Software that manages the traffic between
workstations and the host. In a LAN, it resides in the server, and manages
requests from the workstation.
network access server
See NAS.
PAP
Password Authentication Protocol. A method of establishing security on PPP
links where the caller must provide a password in order to establish the link.
Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP)
Protocol between the terminal and the router. A communications protocol that
provides dial-up access to the Internet. PPP encapsulates common
network-layer protocol specialized Network Control packets; for example, IP
over PPP (IPCP) and IPX over PPP (IPXCP).
PSTN
Public-switched telephone network.
RADIUS
Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service. A system of distributed
(client-server) security that secures remote access to networks and network
services against unauthorized access.
RADIUS client
A program that resides on the gateway and sends authentication requests to
the RADIUS server and acts on responses sent back by the server.
RADIUS server
An authentication server that is installed on a host computer on the corporate
“home” network. All user remote authentication and network service access
information resides on this server.
Remote Access
Server (RAS)
A device that lets a remote node connect to it via a Packet-Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN) or an Integrated Services Digital Network
(ISDN) line. In a Dial VPN network, the Remote Annex performs the remote
access function.
