I'm working through the different ways one can configure CHAP authentication between two routers over a PPP serial link.
If I configure ppp encap and ppp chap authentication and both sides of the link and use the global: username password for identification, the link comes up and IPCP is established. The routers have hostnames defined to be "rtr-2505" and "rtr-2514". When I try to use the "simpler" CHAP config, where one can encode in the interface directly the same hostname and password, I see the error: PPP Serial0: Using alternative CHAP hostname something PPP Serial0: CHAP Challenge id=14 received from something PPP Serial0: ignoring challenge with local name On both rtrs I have the following defined on the serial interface: ppp encap ppp authentication chap ppp chap hostname something ppp chap password else there are no usernames defined globally. Ideas?
