Configuring Port Authentication. You can use the following command to specify how your Motorola
Netopia® Gateway should respond when it receives an authentication request from a remote peer.
The settings for port authentication on the local Motorola Netopia® Gateway must match the authenti-
cation that is expected by the remote peer. For example, if the remote peer requires CHAP authentica-
tion and has a name and CHAP secret for the Motorola Netopia® Gateway, you must enable CHAP and
specify the same name and secret on the Motorola Netopia® Gateway before the link can be estab-
lished.

option [ off | on | pap-only | chap-only ]

password when port authentication is turned on (both CHAP and PAP, CHAP or PAP.) Authentication
must be enabled before you can enter other information.
