Release Information

Statement introduced in JUNOS Release 8.3.

Description

Configure the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP). Use PAP authentication as a means to provide a simple method for the peer to establish its identity using a two-way handshake. This is done only upon initial link establishment.

After the link is established, an ID and password pair is repeatedly sent by the peer to the authenticator until authentication is acknowledged or the connection is terminated.

The statements are explained separately.

Usage Guidelines

See Configuring the PPP Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol, Configuring PPP PAP Authentication, and Tracing Operations of the pppd Process.
