Release Information

Statement introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Support for PAP added in JUNOS Release 8.3.

Description

For CHAP authentication, the value sent in CHAP challenge and response packets on a per interface basis. For PAP authentication, the local hostname for sending PAP authentication requests.

For ATM2 IQ interfaces only, you can configure a CHAP local name on the logical interface unit if the logical interface is configured with one of the following PPP over ATM encapsulation types:

atm-ppp-llc—PPP over AAL5 LLC encapsulation.
atm-ppp-vc-mux—PPP over AAL5 multiplex encapsulation.

Default

For CHAP authentication, if you do not include the local-name statement in the configuration, the interface sends the routing platform’s system hostname in CHAP challenge and response packets.

Usage Guidelines

See Configuring the PPP Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol and Configuring the PPP Password Authentication Protocol.
