So I'm reading "Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Communication Manager (2.1)" Document # 555-233-504 Issue 8 from June 2004. In the section titled Networking Overview/LAN Security it mentions that you cannot access the Customer's LAN throught the INADS line.
Since security is the main concern of our IS Dept in Integrating the S8700 I thought I should test this. My conclusion, I was able to dial the INADS line using RAS access and then telnet the switch. From there I could ping or telnet to other devices on the Corporate LAN.
I'm gonna go ahead and read some more on the security issues but, how can they put this in official documentation when it's pretty much wrong? Anyone else test this and come up with different results? Is their a way to prevent this?
