Displays the current L2 protocol. Choices are PPP, FRAME RELAY, and AUTO DETECT. Default is FRAME

RELAY.

ROUTER>CONFIG>WAN>PPP PROFILE

The Total Access 600R uses the WAN/PPP profile to specify the profile used when connected using PPP.

Authentication

The authentication menu contains the required parameters for the authentication of the PPP peer and for being authenticated by the PPP peer. Authentication is applied between the Total Access 600R and the PPP peer as follows:

TX METHOD

This parameter specifies how the Total Access 600R is to be authenticated by the PPP peer. There are four possible selections. Default is PAP, CHAP, or EAP.

NONE

PAP, CHAP, OR EAP

CHAP OR EAP

EAP

The connection will not allow the PPP peer to authenticate it.

The Total Access 600R will ask for EAP during the first PPP LCP negotiation and allow the PPP peer to negotiate down to CHAP or PAP.

The Total Access 600R will ask for EAP during the first PPP LCP negotiation and allow the PPP peer to negotiate down to CHAP but not PAP.

The Total Access 600R will only allow EAP to be negotiated. If the

PPPpeer is not capable of doing EAP, then the connection will not succeed.
