Hi all,
I know this might seem a bit obvious, but can someone explain the command "ppp chap wait"?
According to the doccd:
"To specify that the router will not authenticate to a peer requesting CHAP authentication until after the peer has authenticated itself to the router."
But it's also enabled by default. That being the case, if two routers are trying to authenticate each
other, then wouldn't they never come up because they are both waiting for each other to authenticate first?
(Which I know does not happen.)
I'm asking because in IEWB lab 18, task 3.1 says to make sure that R4 doesn't respond to chap
authentication before R5 has been successfully authenticated.
The definition of "ppp chap wait" would appear to be the solution, but it isn't.
