This page is displayed if you enabled
PPPoA encapsulation for an ATM or Ethernet connection, or if you are
configuring an ISDN BRI or analog modem connection. Your service provider or
network administrator may use a Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
(CHAP) password or a Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) password to
secure the connection between the devices. This password secures both incoming
and outgoing access.
Check the box for the type of authentication used by your service provider. If you
do not know which type your service provider uses, you can check both boxes: the
router will attempt both types of authentication, and one attempt will succeed.
CHAP authentication is more secure than PAP authentication.
The username is given to you by your Internet service provider or network
administrator and is used as the username for CHAP/PAP authentication.
Enter the password exactly as given to you by your service provider. Passwords
are case sensitive. For example, the password cisco is not the same as Cisco.
Reenter the same password that you entered in the previous box.
ISDN BRI connections require identification of the ISDN switch type, and in
some cases, identification of the B channels using Service Provider ID (SPID)
numbers. This information will be provided to you by your service provider.
