used to access information stored in an LDAP

MAC address 
Every piece of Ethernet hardware has a unique 
number assigned to it called it's MAC address. 
Ethernet is used locally to connect the IMG/
IM/CM4000 to the Internet, and it may share 
the local network with many other appliances. 
The MAC address is used by the local Internet 
router in order to direct IMG/IM/CM4000 traffic 
to it rather than somebody else in the local area. 
It is a 48bit number usually written as a series 
of 6 hexadecimal octets, e.g. 00:d0:cf:00:5b:da. 
A IMG/IM/CM4000 has a MAC address listed on 
a label underneath the device. 
MSCHAP 
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication 
Protocol (MSCHAP) is authentication for PPP 
connections between a computer using a Micro-
soft Windows operating system and a network 
access server. It is more secure than PAP or 
CHAP, and is the only option that also supports 
data encryption.
