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 por t 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] port-authentication
option [ off | on | pap-only | chap-only ]

Specifying on turns both PAP and CHAP on, or you can select PAP or CHAP. Specify the

username

and

password

when por t 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.
