by the remote site only when the router connects to that remote site.

Providers (ISPs). Similarly, the system name of the local router can be overridden for connecting to a specific
remote with the command remote setOurSysName (page 283).
The router also uses security levels, as follows:
¥ Remote authentication protocol Ñ Each remote router entered in the remote router database has a minimum
security level that must be negotiated before the remote router gains access to the local router.
¥ System authentication protocol Ñ A system-wide control is available for overriding the minimum security
level in the entire remote router database.
