Actually, it's not about transposing passwords. Without using ppp chap
hostname command, the router defaults to using its own hostname and the
configured password.
So your example below works as long as the passwords match...
Router1(config)# username router2 password cisco
Router2(config)# username router1 password cisco
The routers don't need to have a username & password entry for its own
hostname (e.g. Router1(config)# username router1 password cisco).
As for the original question, does the remote router have the username &
password pair that is configured as the ppp chap hostname & password
under the interface in the "host" end router?
Thank you,

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 ??
