Disabling ICMP to Send Error Packets
Sending error packets is a major function of ICMP protocol. In case of network abnormalities, ICMP
packets are usually sent by the network or transport layer protocols to notify corresponding devices so
as to facilitate control and management.
By default, S3100 Series Ethernet Switches support sending ICMP redirect and destination
unreachable packets.
Although sending ICMP error packets facilitate control and management, it still has the following
disadvantages:
z Sending a lot of ICMP packets will increase network traffic.
z If receiving a lot of malicious packets that cause it to send ICMP error packets, the device’s
performance will be reduced.
z As the ICMP redirection function increases the routing table size of a host, the host’s performance
will be reduced if its routing table becomes very large.
z If a host sends malicious ICMP destination unreachable packets, end users may be affected.
You can disable the device from sending such ICMP error packets for reducing network traffic and
preventing malicious attacks.
