CONFIG Commands
Configuring Port Authentication. You can use the following command to specify how your Motorola Netopia® Gateway should respond when it receives an authentication request from a remote peer.
The settings for port authentication on the local Motorola Netopia® Gateway must match the authentication that is expected by the remote peer. For example, if the remote peer requires CHAP authentication and has a name and CHAP secret for the Motorola Netopia® Gateway, you must enable CHAP and specify the same name and secret on the Motorola Netopia® Gateway before the link can be established.
set ppp module [vccn]
Specifying on turns both PAP and CHAP on, or you can select PAP or CHAP. Specify the username and password when port authentication is turned on (both CHAP and PAP, CHAP or PAP.) Authentication must be enabled before you can enter other information.
set ppp module [vccn] port-authentication username username
The username argument is 1 – 255 alphanumeric characters. The information you enter must match the username configured in the PPP peer's authentication database.
set ppp module [vccn] port-authentication password password
The password argument is 1 – 128 alphanumeric characters. The information you enter must match the password used by the PPP peer.
