ICMP Throttling Commands

This section describes the commands you use to configure options for the transmission of various types of CMP messages.

ip unreachables

Use this command to enable the generation of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages on an interface or range of interfaces. By default, the generation of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages is enabled.

no ip unreachables

Use this command to prevent the generation of ICMP Destination Unreachable messages.

ip redirects

Use this command to enable the generation of ICMP Redirect messages by the router. By default, the generation of ICMP Redirect messages is enabled. You can use this command to configure an interface, a range of interfaces, or all interfaces.

no ip redirects

Use this command to prevent the generation of ICMP Redirect messages by the router.

ip icmp echo-reply

Use this command to enable the generation of ICMP Echo Reply messages by the router. By default, the generation of ICMP Echo Reply messages is enabled.

no ip icmp echo-reply

Use this command to prevent the generation of ICMP Echo Reply messages by the router.

ip icmp error-interval

Use this command to limit the rate at which IPv4 ICMP error messages are sent. The rate limit is configured as a token bucket, with two configurable parameters, burst-size and burst-interval. The burst-interval specifies how often the token bucket is initialized with burst-size tokens. burst-interval is from 0 to 2147483647 milliseconds (msec). The burst-size is the number of ICMP error messages that can be sent during one burst-interval. The range is from 1 to 200 messages. To disable ICMP rate limiting, set burst-interval to zero (0).

no ip icmp error-interval

Use the no form of the command to return burst-interval and burst-size to their default values.
