Re: ppp chap wait

Hi Sabrina,

Interesting thoughts. I'm wondering about one thing - are you thinking that
on the authenticating side, the command 'ppp direction callout' will force the
interface to send it's CHAP credentials across the link? I'm just trying to
understand how the CHAP credentials will leave the authenticating router since
callin is applied to it's chap authentication.

Thx,
Sean

  Now you got me thinking....I'm moving away a little from the ppp chap wait
command

  Usually when we want one side to authenticate the other, but not viceversa
we configure "ppp authentication" of the authenticator side and only the ppp
credentials on the remote

  Another way on implementing the same would be then to configure on
  * the authenticator side

  ppp direction callin
  ppp authentication chap callin

  * the authenticating side as:

  ppp direction callout
  ppp authentication chap callin

  Assuming the task explicitly ask to meet the requirement while configuring
authentication on both sides.

  The trick is that is says "wait for caller".

  If you have a leased line, ppp direction is "dedicated" by default,
  and "chap wait" does make sense.

  You need to set up one end as "ppp direction callin" and another
  as "ppp direction callout" to simulate "dialup" situation.

  HTH
