ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to test whether a first network is misconnected to a second network includes an interface to the first network, and a controller coupled to the interface to send a first message to the first network, the first message to request configuration information of the apparatus. The controller receives a second message from a configuration server coupled to the second network, the second message being responsive to the first message. The controller indicates misconnection of the first network to the second network in response to receiving the second message.
