Cisco Router to Ascend Router Configuration

This appendix contains information that you will need if you connect your Cisco 800 series router to an Ascend router.

When configuring your router, you need to perform the following steps, which are in addition to those discussed in "Configuring Basic Networks" and in "Configuring Advanced Networks."

Step 1 Set up a username-based authentication system:

username name password password

You need to enter this command twice: to specify the Ascend router username and password and to specify the Cisco router username and password. For example:

router(config)# username max200 password letmein
router(config)# username c800 password letmein

Step 2 Set up a dialer map and make sure that you specify the Ascend router name for authentication:

dialer map ip next-hop-address name hostname speed 56 dial-string

For example:

router(config-if)# dialer map ip 192.168.214.1 name max200 speed 56
	5551234

Step 3 Make sure to set up either PAP or CHAP:

router(config-if)# ppp authentication pap callin

router(config-if)# ppp authentication chap callin
