2.1.8 Set 'no service pad'

Information

Disable X.25 Packet Assembler/Disassembler (PAD) service.

Rationale:

If the PAD service is not necessary, disable the service to prevent intruders from accessing the X.25 PAD command set on the router.

Impact:

To reduce the risk of unauthorized access, organizations should implement a security policy restricting unnecessary services such as the 'PAD' service.

Solution

Disable the PAD service.

hostname(config)#no service pad

Default Value:

Enabled by default.
