ICMP Vulnerabilities

The internet control message protocol (ICMP) is a network-layer internet protocol that provides message packets to report errors and other information regarding IP packet processing back to the source. Dell EMC Networking OS mainly addresses the following ICMP vulnerabilities:

  • ICMP Mask Reply
  • ICMP Timestamp Request
  • ICMP Replies
  • IP ID Values Randomness

You can configure the Dell EMC Networking OS to drop ICMP reply messages. When you configure the drop icmp command, the system drops the ICMP reply messages from the front end and management interfaces. By default, the Dell EMC Networking OS responds to all the ICMP messages. You can configure the Dell EMC Networking OS to suppress the following ICMPv4 and ICMPv6 message types:
