Information About Names And Passwords
In this configuration example, the PPP Link Protocol requires using systems names and passwords.
System Passwords
SOHO
has a system password
“SOHOpasswd” This password is used when SOHO communicates with
HQ for authentication by that site, and at any time when HQ challenges SOHO.
HQ
has a system password
“HQpasswd” which is, likewise, used when HQ communicates with site
SOHO for authentication by SOHO, and at any time SOHO challenges HQ.
ISP
has a system password
“ISPpasswd” used for the same purpose.
Remote Passwords
Each router has a remote router’s password for each remote router defined in its Remote Router
Database. The router will use the remote password
to authenticate the remote router when the remote
router communicates with or is challenged by the local site.
For example, SOHO has remote router entries for HQ and ISP, and defined in each table entry are the
respective remote router’s 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.)
Note:
If you have trouble with passwords, we recommend that you set the remote router security to
“
disable authentication
” to simplify the process.
