hi, thanks for your video, but I think the password for R1 and R2 (users) do not have to be same password, also the username do not have to be same as hostname (I am not 100%, but that what I think and confirmed by using simulator, even tho I am not 100% of the simulator that I have). the password should be the same password for R1 (in both routers) and for R2 can have different password (but it should be the same in both routers configuration). example: in R1 configuration: R1(config)# username R2 password Cisco2 .... R1(config-if)# ppp pap sent-username R1 password Cisco1 in R2 configuration:R2(config)# username R1 password Cisco1 .... R2(config-if)# ppp pap sent-username R2 password Cisco2 or we can look at it in different way: R1(config-if)# ppp pap sent-username R1 password Cisco1 here R1 will send username/password R1/Cisco1 to R2R2(config)# username R1 password Cisco1 here R2 will receive this message and need to look it in his username/password records to find a match. R2(config-if)# ppp pap sent-username R2 password Cisco2 here R2 will send username/password R2/Cisco2 to R1 R1(config)# username R2 password Cisco2 here R1 will receive this message and need to look it in his username/password records to find a match.
