Configuring ICMP Redirects
Purpose
DisableorenablesendingICMPredirectpacketstotheswitchCPUforprocessing,ataglobal
levelandataninterface level.Bydefault,sendingICMPredirectsisenabledgloballyandonall
interfaces.DisablingsendingICMPredirectscanreduceCPUusageincertaindeployments.
Commands
