Using the SPFCON Utility
The SPFCON utility enables you to monitor Sequenced Packet Exchange
TM
(SPX
TM
) spoofing statistics. Spoofing is the process of preserving the
transport end point connection by imitating keep alive packets and responding
to watchdog request packets without passing this traffic across on-demand
WAN links. Using SPX spoofing can help you maintain lower costs over on-
demand WAN links.
NOTE: SPX spoofing is implemented only on PPP interfaces at this time.
To launch SPFCON, enter the command load spfcon at the NetWare
console server.
Four windows make up the SPFCON user interface. The four windows are
