Configuring bidirectional CHAP support

Disabling a MAX stack

To disable a stack, specify Stacking Enabled=No for each of the MAX units in the stack.
Adding and removing a MAX
You can add a MAX unit to an existing stack at any time without rebooting the unit or affecting
stack operation. Because a stack is a collection of peers, none keeps a list of the stack
membership. The units in a stack communicate when they need a service from the stack.
Removing a unit from a stack requires care, because any calls using a channel between the unit
to be removed and another unit in the stack could be dropped. There is no need to reboot a unit
removed from a stack.
Configuring bidirectional CHAP support
You can set up bidirectional CHAP authentication between the calling PPP device and the
called PPP device.
Overview
This section covers the following topics:
•
•
•
The bidirectional CHAP feature increases compliance with the RFC 1994 standard for PPP
CHAP authentication. Note that the feature is not implemented for PAP-based authentication
(PAP, PAP-TOKEN, or PAP-TOKEN-CHAP).
Configuring bidirectional CHAP on the MAX unit
The following sections describe how to configure bidirectional CHAP on the MAX unit. You
can one of the following configurations:
•
•
•
Setting up bidirectional CHAP on the MAX unit for all incoming calls
Figure 4-9 shows a configuration in which a MAX unit and its dial-in clients authenticate each
other by means of bidirectional CHAP. One or more clients can dial into the MAX unit. The
MAX unit authenticates the calling device by means of a Connection profile, and each dial-in
client authenticates the MAX unit by means of the Send PW value.
