ICMP is vital and should not be blocked within the LAN. Blocking most ICMP types for the Internet into the LAN, sure, but within the LAN is should stay. http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9365/sam0004i/0004i.htm cheers Ivan On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 3:29 AM, Secure This <lists () securethis net> wrote:
I have a variety of clients with data centres who all make use of icmp/ping to monitor their servers/appliances/devices (often with poorly configured snmp versions 1 and 2). Could anybody kindly advise me of tools and strategies for minimising or removing the use of icmp/ping on a supposedly secure network? Thanks in advance
