I am working through the IE Lab workbook and have come across the ppp chap
wait command.

The DocCD states

ppp chap wait

To specify that the router will not authenticate to a peer requesting
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication until
after the peer has authenticated itself to the router, use the ppp chap wait
command in interface configuration mode.To allow the router to respond
immediately to an authentication challenge, use the no form of this command.

Defaults
Enabled

Now my question is that if this is enabled by default and you have two ends
of an ISDN link configure for CHAP authentication logic would dictate we
would have a mexican standoff - each end would be waiting for the other to
authenticate. However this clearly does not happen!!
This command really does not make a lot of sense.

Any comments??

Simon
