Security Features

Service Advertising Protocol (SAP) Helper

Cisco 700 series routers can forward to a specified router or server (instead of responding to them) all SAP get-nearest-service request broadcast packets and get general service request broadcast packets to an IPX router or IPX server as unicast packets. Cisco 700 series routers forward these request packets without looking in the local SAP table. The parameters are set using the set ipx sap helper command.

Route Summarization

Route summarization is provided on IP RIP Version 2 (only Version 2 provides the required subnet mask information). When route summarization is set to auto, the router summarizes routes that cross the classful boundary to a single route based on the classful boundary.

When route summarization is set to off, the router uses the normal RIP Version 2 routes with variable-length subnet masks (VLSMs). The default setting for RIP summarization is OFF. Use the set ip rip summarization command to control this feature.

Data Compression

Cisco 700 series routers support data compression using the compression algorithm QIC-122 standard, Stacker LZS. Data compression is a software configuration option that optimizes the ISDN line bandwidth. Packets are compressed before being sent onto the ISDN line. After they arrive at their destination, the packets are decompressed and sent on to the remote LAN.

Security Features

Cisco 700 series routers provide the following security features:

•PPP authentication support, including Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)

•Password security for local and remote configuration access

•IP filtering based on source and destination addresses, source and destination ports, and packet types
