Names and Passwords Example

In the sample configuration provided, the small office SOHO communicates

with the central site HQ and the Internet Service Provider ISP.

System Passwords

SOHO has a system password ‘SOHOpasswd’.  This password is used

when SOHO dials out to site HQ for authentication by that site, and at

any time when HQ challenges SOHO.

HQ has a system password ‘HQpasswd’ which is, likewise, used when

HQ dials out to site SOHO for authentication by SOHO, and at any time

SOHO challenges HQ.

ISP has a system password ‘ISPpasswd’ used for the same purpose.

Remote Passwords

Each router has a remote router’s password for each remote router

defined in its Remote Router Database.  The router will use the remote

password to authenticate the remote site when the remote router dials in

or is challenged by the local site.

For example, SOHO has remote router entries for HQ and ISP, and

defined in each entry are the respective remote router’s password.

The following table shows the names and passwords for each router that

must be defined for authentication to be performed correctly.   (This

assumes that all three systems use some form of authentication protocol.)
