T1, E1, and T3 WAN Commands
configure ppp user
configure ppp user <name> {encrypted} {<password>} [ports <portlist> |
multilink <groupname>]
Description
Configures the user
name
and
password
that the specified PPP/MLPPP link uses if the peer requests
authentication.
Syntax Description
Default
By default, there is no value set for name or password.
Usage Guidelines
The
name
is also sent when a port transmits a CHAP authentication request. The implementation
responds to either CHAP or PAP authentication requests issued by the peer regardless of whether the
port is configured to authenticate the peer. The
name
parameter is a string with a length in the range of
[1..32] characters. The
password
parameter is also a character string, with a maximum length of 32
characters. If no
password
is provided on the command line, then you are prompted to enter the
password twice (with the second time serving as a confirmation). You should not enter the encrypted
parameter option (it is used by the switch when generating an ASCII configuration).
Example
The following command example sets the name to
titus
and sets the password to
1Afortune
for the
multilink group
m_link1
:
configure ppp user "titus" "1Afortune" multilink m_link1
