Appendix A

CONFIG Commands

BOTH

set PPP module [vccn] restart-timer

integer

Specifies the number of seconds the Cayman Gateway should wait before retrans- mitting a configuration or termination request. The integer argument can be any number between 1 and 30.

BOTH

set PPP module [vccn] connection-type { instant-on always-on }

Specifies whether a PPP connection is maintained by the Cayman Gateway when it is unused for extended periods. If you specify always-on, the Cayman Gate- way never shuts down the PPP link. If you specify instant-on, the Cayman Gateway shuts down the PPP link after the number of seconds specified in the time-outsetting (below) if no traffic is moving over the circuit.

BOTH

set PPP module [vccn] time-out

integer

If you specified a connection type of instant-on, specifies the number of seconds, in the range 30-600, the Cayman Gateway should wait for communication activ- ity before terminating the PPP link.

Configuring Port Authentication

You can use the following commands to specify how your Cayman Gateway should respond when it receives an authentication request from a remote peer.

The settings for port authentication on the local Cayman 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 Cayman Gateway, you must enable CHAP and specify the same name and secret on the Cayman Gateway before the link can be established.

BOTH

set PPP module [vccn] port-authentication chap-option { on off }

Specifies whether CHAP authentication is enabled. CHAP authentication must be enabled before you can enter other CHAP information. If CHAP is turned on, it will be the first authentication method offered to the remote peer during link negotiation.

If you turn port authentication off and peer authentication on, the PPP software still uses the port authentication chap-name and pap-name for authentication. As a result, the port authentication names for PAP and CHAP must be identical to the peer names for your Cayman Gateway on the remote peer. If you do not config- ure a chap-name or pap-name, then the authentication packets sent by the local peer will have blank name values. This may cause authentication to fail for some PPP implementations.
