Setting a Time Limit for Authentication
You can specify the maximum number of seconds the router waits for a response
to its authentication messages by setting the Authentication Timer parameter. If
the timer expires before the negotiation completes, the router drops the
connection. The default value is 10 seconds.
Using the BCC
The BCC does not allow you to configure this parameter.
Using Site Manager
To set a time limit for this interface, do the tasks in the following table.
Customizing PAP
When PAP is the authentication protocol, you must also specify a local PAP ID, a
local PAP password, and a remote PAP ID and remote PAP password for the peer.
During the authentication phase of link creation, PPP uses these parameters to
verify the peer’s right to communicate with the local router.
