RE: Dialer Map "name" parameter

The name keyword is used by ppp authentication. It must match the name
the remote side is sending for authentication.

Restricting a router from initiating a call by removing the dial string
can be problematic. A better option would be to include the dial string
and a dialer-group, but configure no dialer-list.

Subject: Dialer Map "name" parameter

All,
 
Can anyone explain what exactly the "name" keyword for the dialer map
statement is used for?
 
I know that you must have it for PPP callback. However I noticed that
including the keyword breaks a scenario that I would not think it would.

 
For example if you ONLY want one side of a BRI to dial. So you omit the
dialer string on the dialer map for the side that should NOT dial to
accomplish this. When the dialer map has the name keyword, but no dial
string, and an incoming call comes in, the connection is established but
there are encapsulation failures back towards the calling router.
 
If you do not use the name keyword then the scenario works fine. Anyone
know why this causes problems?
 
R1
dialer map ip 1.1.1.2 name R2 broadcast XXXXXXX
and
R2
dialer map ip 1.1.1.1 name R1 broadcast
