Try to separate the Router hostname and the PAP username in your mind. By default PAP will use the hostname as the username, but it doesn't have to. You can over ride this.
PPP PAP by default uses the hostname of the router as a username. So in this case R9. If you change the hostname to something else you have now broken PAP. If you hard set the username to R9 you can now change the hostname at will, and it will still use R9 as the username so your authentication will continue to work regardless of hostname. That is how it fulfills the requirements.
