ppp chap-password
Configures the password that this interface sends in response to CHAP challenges from remote
peers.
CHAP provides authentication for devices that want to establish a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
link with the current POS interface. The CHAP password, along with the CHAP hostname, must
be provided by remote devices during CHAP challenges before a PPP connection is established
with the interface.
Note that you must set the CHAP hostname using the ppp chap-hostname command before
you configure a CHAP password. Use the no ppp chap-password command to delete the
CHAP password from the current interface.
