Hey Raj:
Please search the groupstudy archives for some related posts on this topic. This topic was extensively discussed sometime ago here on groupstudy. You can do a search on "ppp authentication Brian Dennis" or any keyword combination you like. I remember Brian did clarify some of the very common mis-conceptions with this topic.
Or better still check out the Internetwork expert Workbook/Solution Guide for a very detailed explanation of this topic
HTH and regards.
Ralph.

Subject: ISDN behavior
Hi GS,
            I was under the impression that when you enable ppp
authentication on ISDN, the default behavior is both sides challenge each
other. I find that this is not the case; my debugs show that only the router
that is called into challenges the calling router. This would mean that the
calling option is not needed anymore? Is this something new with the newer
version of IOS? Also, I found that I don't need the encap ppp on the bri0
contradictory to a lot of the documentation out there! -Any thoughts would
be much appreciated.
TIA,
Raj
