8 Authentication Protocol is the level of security checking between the two ends.
a PAP – Password Authentication Protocol, provides a simple method for the peer to establish its
identity using a 2-way handshake. This is done only upon initial link establishment.
b CHAP - Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol is used to periodically verify the identity
of the peer using a 3-way handshake. This is done upon initial link establishment, and MAY be
repeated anytime after the link has been established.
9 Authentication Method, select one of the following:
a Incoming - authentication is only verified in one direction
b Outgoing - authentication is only verified in one direction
c Bothway – default, recommended; authentication is verified in both directions
