PPP: Authentication using CHAP


PPP: Authentication using CHAP

      ·         PPP supports 2 types of authentication, PAP and CHAP

·         PAP sends password in clear-text

·         CHAP sends password encrypted.

·         In this post, let me configure password using CHAP

·         Here, R1 is the server, Authenticator and R2 is the client, authentee.

·         We need to understand who is authenticating who.

·         When we dial-in for internet connection, the ISP authenticates the user, not the vice versa.

·         So, Server asks the password and the client shares it.

·         Let me take a small topology to configure this.

R1-----s1/0---------------------s1/0----R2

10.1.1.1----------------------------Client


R1(config)#username cisco password cisco

R1(config-if)#do show run int ser1/0

Building configuration...

 

Current configuration : 158 bytes

!

interface Serial1/0

 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

 encapsulation ppp

 no peer default ip address

 serial restart-delay 0

 ppp authentication chap

end

 

R1(config-if)#

 

R2(config-if)#do show run int ser1/0

Current configuration : 157 bytes

interface Serial1/0

 ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0

 encapsulation ppp

 ppp chap hostname cisco

 ppp chap password 0 cisco

end
