Configuring PPP Authentication
The Extreme Networks implementation of PPP uses the Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol (CHAP) and the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) to
authenticate peer network elements. PAP is a simple protocol based on a clear-text user
name and password pair, while CHAP is a stronger authentication protocol that uses
the Message Digest, Version 5 (MD5) one-way hash algorithm. In the use of either
protocol, if authentication fails, the connection with the peer is terminated.
To configure authentication on a specified PPP port, use the following command:
config ppp authentication [off | chap | pap | chap-pap] ports <portlist>
The default is authentication
When you configure authentication using the
using CHAP.
When you configure authentication using the
using PAP.
When you configure authentication using the
authenticate the peer using CHAP, but PAP may be used if the peer does not support
CHAP.
The following command example turns on CHAP authentication for port 1 of the PoS
module installed in slot 8 of the BlackDiamond switch.
config ppp authentication chap ports 8:1
Configuring the Name and Password for the Port
In the event a PPP peer requests authentication, the Extreme Networks implementation
of PPP responds to the peer's CHAP or PAP authentication requests regardless of
whether the port is configured to authenticate the peer.
