Default
The default is scrambling
Usage Guidelines
The option of disabling scrambling is provided for backward compatibility with an earlier (now
obsoleted) PoS standard specified in RFC 1619. Scrambling was introduced in RFC 2615 to alleviate
potential security problems where malicious users might generate packets with bit patterns that create
SONET synchronization problems.
Example
The following command example turns off the scrambling function for port 1 of the PoS module
installed in slot 8 of the BlackDiamond switch:
config ppp pos scrambling off ports 8:1
