Customizing Caller Resolution
For security purposes, all three dial services use a PPP identification mechanism
to determine who is calling the router. PPP performs this identification process
using one of two authentication protocols, CHAP or PAP.
CHAP is the default authentication protocol. To configure PAP, you must edit the
PPP interface configuration and modify the Site Manager parameter Local
Authentication Protocol parameter before setting up the caller resolution table.
For instructions on how to set this parameter, see Configuring PPP Services.
There is no equivalent BCC parameter.
To identify remote callers, you enter the caller name and CHAP secret or PAP
password of each remote caller in the caller resolution table, and assign a local
demand, primary, or bandwidth circuit to each caller.
The authentication process starts during link negotiation. The remote caller
includes its CHAP name or PAP ID in the CHAP challenge or PAP authenticate
request to the called router. When the called router receives the call, it checks its
caller resolution table for a matching entry. If the remote caller is authorized, the
called router activates the assigned circuit.
For more information about authentication, see Chapter 5, “Implementation Notes
for All Dial Services.”
This chapter explains how to modify your caller resolution information using the
BCC (dial backup only) and Site Manager.
Note:
When you configure a PPP connection using Site Manager, it creates a
generic PPP line record that all pools use for identification.
