{

If a packet does not match any route and there is no default route in the routing table, the device

sends a Network Unreachable ICMP error packet to the source.

{

If a packet is destined for the device but the transport layer protocol of the packet is not

supported by the device, the device sends a Protocol Unreachable ICMP error packet to the

source.

{

If a UDP packet is destined for the device but the packet's port number does not match the

corresponding process, the device sends the source a Port Unreachable ICMP error packet.

{

If the source uses Strict Source Routing to send packets, but the intermediate device finds that the

next hop specified by the source is not directly connected, the device sends the source a Source

Routing Failure ICMP error packet.

{

If the MTU of the sending interface is smaller than the packet and the packet has DF set, the

device sends the source a Fragmentation Needed and DF-set ICMP error packet.

To enable sending ICMP error packets:

Step

Command

Remarks

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

Enable sending ICMP

error packets.

•

Enable sending ICMP redirect packets:

ip redirects enable

•

Enable sending ICMP time-exceeded

packets:

ip ttl-expires enable

•

Enable sending ICMP destination

unreachable packets:

ip unreachables enable

The default settings are

disabled.

Sending ICMP error packets facilitates network management, but sending excessive ICMP packets

increases network traffic. A device's performance degrades if it receives a lot of malicious ICMP packets

that cause it to respond with ICMP error packets.

To prevent such problems, you can disable the device from sending ICMP error packets. A device

disabled from sending ICMP time-exceeded packets does not send ICMP TTL Expired packets but can still

send ICMP Fragment Reassembly Timeout packets.

Disabling forwarding ICMP fragments

Disabling forwarding ICMP fragments can protect your device from ICMP fragments attacks.

To disable forwarding ICMP fragments:

Step

Command

Remarks

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

Disable forwarding ICMP fragments.

ip icmp fragment discarding

By default, forwarding ICMP

fragments is enabled.
