Configuring the Logical Interface

You must add the password you have agreed upon for the peer to the PPP
database. The PPP database for each connection is separate and distinct from
the global username and password database and the databases of other PPP
connections. Because the database is for a point-to-point connection, it stores
only one username and password. You manage the database for a PPP con-
nection from its logical interface configuration mode context.
To set the username and password that the ProCurve Secure Router accepts
from a peer, enter the following command from the global configuration mode
context:
Syntax: username <username> password <password>
For example, you might enter:
ProCurve(config-ppp 1)# username SiteB password procurve
For CHAP, the username should be the hostname of the peer.
Authenticating to a Peer. The device at the other end of a PPP connection
may require the ProCurve Secure Router to authenticate itself. To configure
the local router, you must:
configure which authentication protocol to use
set the username and password
The authentication protocol must match that requested by the peer. If you do
not know which protocol the peer is using, you can view the debug messages
and look for PAP or CHAP. From the enable mode context, enter:
ProCurve# debug ppp authentication
You specify the authentication protocol with the same command that you
enter to configure the username and password that the ProCurve Secure
Router sends the PPP peer. The company or ISP that is requiring PPP authen-
tication should provide you with the username and password, which are case
sensitive.
Setting a PAP Username and Password. To configure PAP authentica-
tion information for a WAN connection, you must move to the configuration
mode context for the logical interface that provides the Data Link Layer for
the connection. To set the username and password that the router will send
in clear text over the wire, enter:
Syntax: ppp pap sent-username <username> password <password>
