Nexus Series pad(packet assembler/disassembler) support?

kiduk1016 — Fri, 21 Feb 2020 14:12:39 GMT

I'm sorry I did not speak English. I would like help

There is a problem with the nexus security settings.

Questions

1. IOS command no service pad -> Nexus command ???

2. Does nexus not support pad?

*3. I need data or documentation that the nexus does not support the pad.
For example, the cisco document

Thank you

The PAD service was a legacy service for X.25 networks that older IOS versions had enabled by default.

The newer NX-OS plaftorm never had it as an option so disabling it is also not an option. Cisco does not publish a list of things they don't do as that would be infinitely long.

However if you consult the Cisco guide to Securing NX-OS Software devices you will see the listing of things they do recommend:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/security-center/securing-nx-os.html

They also note in that document the following:

As a general security best practice, disable any unnecessary services. Cisco NX-OS does not run any of the typical Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) small servers often found in Cisco IOS Software or other network operating systems by default.
