Unique System Passwords
As described in
Security Configuration Settings on page 16
of this chapter, you can specify a unique system
override password for a remote router with the command
remote SetOurPasswd
. This “system override
password” is used instead of the general system password
only
for connecting to a specific remote router. This
allows you to set a unique CHAP or PAP authentication password for authentication of the local site by the remote
site
only
when the router connects to that remote site.
A common use is to set a password assigned to you by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Similarly, the system
name of the local router can be overridden for connecting to a specific remote with the command
remote
setoursysname
.
