It means if you call the server you will ONLY get connected if you (the caller) have callback configured

its easier if you see the configs ..

so config A and B will work
config C will NOT

---------------------------------------
Config A - no callback will take place
---------------------------------------
Client
                        no ppp callback request (default command)
server
                        ppp callback accept
                        dialer map ip 1.2.3.4 name JoeBloggs class callback broadcast 1234656
                         map-class dialer callback
                         dialer callback-server username
---------------------------------------
Config B - callback will take place
---------------------------------------
Client
                        ppp callback request
server
                        ppp callback accept
                  ppp callback secure
                        dialer map ip 1.2.3.4 name JoeBloggs class callback broadcast 1234656
                         map-class dialer callback
                         dialer callback-server username
---------------------------------------
Config C - will not work !
---------------------------------------
Client
                        no ppp callback request (default command)
server
                        ppp callback accept
                  ppp callback secure
                        dialer map ip 1.2.3.4 name JoeBloggs class callback broadcast 1234656
                         map-class dialer callback
                         dialer callback-server username
---------------------------------------

If I was a proctor and wanted you to use callback secure I would say

configure callback, ensure the client router recieves a callback, ensure all future routers connected will only connect to the server if they are configured with callback

Get the gist ?

To be honest, with callback you really need to remember to put in your map-class, well that was the mistake I used to make !

Subject: ppp callback secure command.

Could you please explain why this command is used. Especially int the ccie
labs if it is not told to configure the security.

Please explain the purpose of using this command.

Thanks,
