Chapter 9 Link Protocol Configuration
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION 137
This authentication method depends on a "secret", known
only to authenticator and peer. The secret is not sent over
the link. Although authentication is only one-way, this can
negotiate CHAP in both directions, with the help of the same
secret set for mutual authentication.
This procedure describes how to do challenge handshake
authentication protocol (CHAP) on ZTE ZXR10 GER Routers.
Router CLI (Privileged Mode) has been accessed.
