The ppp authentication command parameters

Last Updated : May 03, 2023 |

The ppp authentication command is used with any of the following parameters:

  • pap. Password Authentication Protocol. An unencrypted password is sent for authentication.

  • chap. Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. An encrypted password is sent for authentication. To configure this password, use the ppp chap-secret command.

    Note:

    If the Branch Gateway firmware is replaced by an earlier firmware version, the ppp chap-secret is erased, and must be re-configured.

    Note:

    ppp authentication is not supported in the FIPS mode.

  • ras. Remote Access Service mode is being used for authentication. This is the default.

  • none. No password is sent
