> Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MSCHAP) is the Microsoft version of CHAP.

> Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches allow user logins to perform remote authentication using different versions of MSCHAP. MSCHAP is used for authentication on a RADIUS or TACACS+ server, while MSCHAPv2 is used for authentication on a RADIUS server.
