ppp pap-sent-username 327
ppp pap-sent-username
Configures the username and password that the interface sends in response to Password
Authentication Protocol (PAP) requests.
Similar to Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), PAP provides password
authentication of remote routers that attempt to establish a point-to-point connection with a
POS interface. If the incorrect username and password is provided, the connection is not allowed.
Although both PAP and CHAP are authentication mechanisms used with point-to-point protocol
(PPP), PAP is less secure than CHAP. PAP does not encrypt the password; CHAP does.
Use the no ppp pap-sent-username command to remove a PAP username/password
configuration from the POS interface.
