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:
