Remarks

  • You can dump the contents of the current configuration to a file that can be used to restore altered configuration settings.

Example

The following commands save the current configuration as a script in the c:\test\rascfg.dmp file.

  • From the command prompt:

    netsh ras dump > c:\test\rascfg.dmp

  • From the netsh ras context prompt:

    set file open c:\test\rascfg.dmp

    dump

    set file close

You can use the netsh exec command to run the script created by the netsh dump command.

add authtype

Adds an authentication type to the list of types that the remote access server uses to negotiate authentication.

Syntax

add authtype

[ type = ] { PAP | MD5CHAP | MSCHAPv2 | EAP | CERT }

Parameters

  • [ type = ] { PAP | MD5CHAP | MSCHAPv2 | EAP | CERT }
    Required. Specifies which authentication type to add to the list of types that the remote access server uses to negotiate authentication. The supported authentication types include:

    • PAP: Enables Password Authentication Protocol (PAP). This authentication method sends all information in plaintext.

    • MD5CHAP: Enables Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP), which uses the Message Digest 5 (MD5) hashing scheme to encrypt the response.

    • MSCHAPv2: Enables version 2 of MSCHAP.

    • EAP: Enables Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

    • CERT: Enables certificate-based authentication for use by Internet Key Exchange v2 (IKEv2). This option is available on RRAS servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 only, and applies to client computers running Windows 7 only.

Remarks

  • The remote access server will attempt to negotiate authentication by using protocols in order from the most secure to the least secure. After both the client and the server have agreed on an authentication type, PPP negotiation proceeds according to the appropriate RFCs.
