I have a 3640 with IP Plus 56 12.0(7)T. =20 The box connects to 3 different LANs using Ethernet. It has a 10 = channel PRI running 4 data and 6 voice channels, with aaa configured but = no external authentication is set (or needed), so all authentication is = based on local accounts. I would like to connect to another site with serial (2048Kbps unframed = data via G.703 convertor into X.21 interface), but this new link MUST = use PPP encapsulation, and the other end does not (or the admin will = not) support PPP authentication. The problem is that whenever I try to connect the serial line to the = router, aaa jumps in and decides that it needs to authenticate with the = remote end. I can't remove AAA as it will cause problems with the = existing data services running through this router. I am looking at the following possible configuration to my problem: aaa authentication NOAUTH none aaa authorization network NOAUTH none interface serial 2/0 encapsulation ppp ppp authentication chap pap NOAUTH ppp authorization NOAUTH Each time I try to bring the service over to this router it causes about = 10-15 minutes downtime (as the connection is currently running via = another router) and I would like to minimise that if possible. Any ideas ? Does anyone know if this will/will not work ? Thanks in advance.
