Usage
Information
Once you configure this command, the remote device must prove its identity before the FTOS sends
traffic.
The two authentication types differ slightly:
• With CHAP authentication, the E-Series sends a challenge to the remote device, which must
encrypt the response with a shared value and return it to the E-Series with a username. The
E-Series checks the local database for a match on the shared value and username.
• With PAP authentication, the remote device must send a username/password set which the FTOS
checks against the local database. PAP passwords are sent as “clear text” and could be intercepted
and used.
After you enable PPP authentication, you must configure remote hostnames and passwords to initiate
authentication on the E-Series.
