Configure PPP Security

The router provides support for both PAP and CHAP PPP security

authentication. An outgoing user name, PAP password , and CHAP

secret are defined that the router will use when responding to an

authentication request from a remote site PPP router.

The cold start defaults for the security user name and passwords are as

follows. These defaults will exist when the router is first started before

and configuration is entered, and after a Full Reset has been performed.

These default values are also set when the router is placed in TFTP

Network load mode for upgrading the operating software via TFTP

transfers. Care should be taken when upgrading a group of routers that

have security levels set.

Default user name is the same as the default device name.

Default PAP password and CHAP secret are both set to “none”.

The complete security configuration for both incoming and outgoing

calls is defined within the Security menu of the WAN Set up section.

security may defined as none, PAP, or CHAP.
