Parameters
username: Username of the local device for PAP authentication, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 80
characters.
cipher: Sets a ciphertext password.

of 1 to 48 characters. If cipher is specified, it must be a ciphertext string of 1 to 97 characters.
Usage guidelines
For the local device to pass PAP authentication on the remote device, make sure the same username and
password configured for the local device are also configured on the remote device with the commands
local-user username and password { cipher | simple } password.
For security purposes, all keys, including keys configured in plain text, are saved in cipher text.

pass1.
