Security
A security fastener tie point is included at the bottom of the NID to thwart and provide evidence of causal
tampering. If an unauthorized party wishes to access the network, they could also cut and re-terminate the Ethernet
cable in the absence of a NID. In either case, an they would need to bring their own DHCP router and DC power
supply to access the customer’s router, which is presumably also protected by a suitable firewall. They could access
the C5 so long as they brought a passive 48V DC power supply, but they would need to know the IP address,
password and VLAN if applicable. Most operators filter and manage traffic at upstream routers using VLAN or MAC
filtering to prevent unauthorized access such as when end customers do not pay their bill.
