Names and Passwords Example
In the sample configuration provided in Table 11 , a small office FP2 communicates with a central
site FP3 and an Internet Service Provider ISP. As indicated in this example, router FP2 has a
system password “FP2passwd”. This password is used when FP2 dials out to site FP3 for
authentication by that site, and at any time when FP3 challenges FP2. FP3 has a system password
“FP3passwd” which is, likewise, used when FP3 dials out to site FP2 for authentication by FP2,
and at any time FP2 challenges FP3. The ISP site has a system password “ISPpasswd” used for the
same purpose.
Each router includes the remote router password in the definition of any remote site to which it
communicates. The router will use the remote password to authenticate the remote site when the
remote router dials in or is challenged by the local site. For example, FP2 has remote router entries
for FP3 and ISP, and defined in each entry are the respective remote router password.
The following table shows the names and passwords for each router that must be defined for
authentication to be performed correctly. (This assumes that all three systems use some form of
authentication protocol.)
