PAP Authentication
Like CHAP, PAP is an authentication protocol used with PPP. However, PAP is
less secure. CHAP passes an encrypted version of the password on the physical
link, but PAP passes the password and host name or username in clear text.
When interactive mode (rather than dedicated mode) is used on asynchronous
lines, the username command allows a router to verify a username in an internal
database before the user can call in to the router. In the following example, user
Joe Smith is allowed to call in to the router if he uses the password freedom:
username JoeSmith password freedom
line 1

Access Lists
Access lists control packet filtering on Cisco routers by limiting traffic and
restricting network use by certain users or devices. Although there are several
purposes for using access lists, the configuration examples in this guide use access
lists to control the transmission of packets on a specific interface.
An access list is a sequential collection of permit and deny conditions that
apply to network addresses. Packet addresses are compared to the conditions in
all access lists configured in the router. The first match determines whether the
packet is accepted or denied by the router. Because the router stops testing
conditions after the first match, the order in which the conditions are defined in
the access list is critical. If a packet does not match any conditions configured in
an access list, the router rejects the packet.
For detailed information on how access lists work and how to configure them,
refer to the Configuring IP Services chapter in the Network Protocols
Configuration Guide, Part 1, publication, which is available on the
Documentation CD-ROM that came with your router.
