The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), defined in RFC 792, is a protocol used to determine whether a destination is unreachable. A TCP/IP-based protocol, ICMP verifies, through error and control messages between a host and an Internet gateway, the validity of an IP address. For example, ICMP functions are used by ping utilities to verify network connectivity. You configure ICMP for each IP interface that requires the functionality.
Configures the ICMP protocol on the IP interface that hosts it.
On a public IP interface:
config cluster box number interface ethX ip name icmp config cluster box number interface ethX vlan number ip name icmp config box interface ethX ip name icmp config box interface ethX vlan number ip name icmp
admin: Sets the administrative state of the ICMP protocol, either enabled (running) or disabled. When disabled, you can still configure the ICMP parameters, but the parameters do not become active until the admin property is set to enabled.
Default: enabled
Values: enabled | disabled
Example: set admin disabled
limit: Limits the number of ICMP packets that can be received per second on this IP interface.
Default: 10
Values: Min: 1 / Max: 1000
Example: set port 10
