I don't know why this works, but I do know it does work as listed below.

With CHAP.

Router 1
User router1 pass 0 pass1
User router2 pass 0 pass2

Router 2
User router1 pass 0 pass2
User router2 pass 0 pass1

Basically your transpose the passwords on one of the routers.

With PAP.

Router 1
User router1 pass 0 pass1
User router2 pass 0 pass2

Router 2
User router1 pass 0 pass1
User router2 pass 0 pass2

You don't transpose the passwords with pap, just a one to one
relationship.

Also I always use a ppp alternative host name command, so I don't have
to worry about the router's name. Basically, I cut and paste the above
to the routers, name them router1 and router2 using the ppp alternative
host name command and it works.

Subject: PPP CHAP Password

When setting the hostname and password under the BRI interface (PPP CHAP
Hostname & PPP CHAP Password) it does not authenticate to the neighbor
router. I am placing the username and password on the remote router to
the
hostname and password correctly but it will not accept the new password.
Does anybody have any suggustions ??
