Page 21: Spoofing
Spooﬁng The concept of mimicking correct responses to keep level requests alive at the local end of a temporarily broken connection is called connection (or call) spooﬁng. Call spooﬁng saves connect time charges by allowing the call to be disconnected without causing the NOS to time-out the client/host connection.

Page 54 Local Management Enabling IP Forwarding on a Port By default, IP Forwarding is disabled on each router port. Your device cannot begin forwarding IP data packets on any router port until you enable IP Forwarding on that port. To enable IP Forwarding on a router port, complete the following steps: Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Forwarding option.
Page 55 However, because each subnet constitutes a separate broadcast domain and LAN broadcasts are not forwarded across routers, ARP does not work beyond a host’s local network or subnetwork. One of the primary purposes of a router is to conﬁne LAN broadcast trafﬁc to each local network or subnetwork.
Page 56: Ip Rip
An entry exists in the IP Forwarding Table for the destination host’s network. Enabling Proxy ARP on a router port allows IP hosts to dynamically obtain the MAC-layer address of other IP hosts attached to different networks or subnetworks by using broadcast ARP request packets.
Page 57 Entries in RIP-2 routing tables always have a Next Hop ﬁeld. The Next Hop is the IPv6address of the next router along the path to the destination. The purpose of the Next Hop in the routing table is to prevent packets from being routed through extra hops in the system. The limitation of a maximum network diameter of 15 hops for the Next Hop ﬁeld is common to both...
Page 58 RIP is intended to allow routers to exchange information for computing routes through an IPv6-based network. Any router that uses RIP is assumed to have interfaces to one or more networks, otherwise it isn’t a router. These are referred to as directly connected networks.
Page 59 If the router is not conﬁgured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 and unauthenticated RIP-2 messages will be accepted. Authenticated RIP-2 messages will be discarded. If the router is conﬁgured to authenticate RIP-2 messages, then RIP-1 messages and RIP-2 messages which pass authentication testing will be accepted.

WAN Configuration Conﬁguration: Frame Relay This section provides step-by-step instructions for conﬁguring the HSIM or CyberSWITCH to use a T1 circuit in a Frame Relay environment. This example assumes the setup shown in using two CSX400s, each with an HSIM or CyberSWITCH installed. Conﬁgurations may vary depending on the host platform.

Page 99 Point To Point Mode (LM WAN Interface Conﬁguration) The difference in conﬁguration between PtoP and PtoMP is that DLCIs are not learned dynamically. DLCI information must be entered in statically, even if in an LMI mode. All the other information in FR PtoMP conﬁguration is applicable. Since in Point To Point mode the DLCI is static, it will not be deleted if the switch sends no information on the DLCI, but must be deleted manually through LM or SNMP, nor will DLCIs be added dynamically.

WAN Configuration Set Maximum Number of Neighbor/Remote Proﬁles A neighbor/remote proﬁle describes a possible connection. The maximum should be set to account for support of PPP Multilink. If PPP Multilink is used, then the number of proﬁles must accommodate the maximum possible number of additional “more BW” connections/calls desired. Consequently, each neighbor proﬁle would then describe a possible connection to the same remote end point (user).
