Hey Ahmed,
Actually, the use of this command is very straight forward.
Assume rtrA calls rtrB. For rtrB to authenticate rtrA, rtrB will have a
"username xxxx password yyy" statement in it's config (assuming it's using a
local name database). Typically, xxxx will be the hostname of rtrA. But,
suppose there are severral routers that call rtrB and you don't want to or
need to (for security purposes) config a separate "username xxxx password
yyy" for each router that calls rtrB.
Instead of using the actual hostname of the calling router, you can
configure,
Dialer Remote-name xxxx, on each calling router so that rtrB authenticates
the calling router against what's specified in the Dialer remote-name
command instead of the actual hostname.
If I've misspoken, I hope someone will correct me.
HTH, pm
