ABSTRACT:
According to an approach for assigning network addresses to network devices, an authentication request that requests authentication of identification data that uniquely identifies a network device is generated and sent to an authentication mechanism. An authentication response is received from the authentication mechanism that indicates whether the network device is authorized to access a first network. If the authentication response indicates that the network device is authorized to access the first network, then a first network address on a first network is assigned to the network device. If the authentication response indicates that the network device is not authorized to access the first network, then a second network address on a second network to the network device is assigned. If no authentication response is received from the authentication mechanism, then the second network address on the second network is assigned to the network device.
