RE: Surpress ICMP messages between two internal IP's (pass rule)

["Kenneth Trimmmer" <kenneth.trimmer () parkvale com>]

Just wondering, after I create a suppress rule, Where do I put it? Does it
go into a rule file or does it go somewhere else?


Hi Bill,

You can use a "suppress" rule on the SIDs that are firing to safely 
ignore these ICMP messages to/from your DCs without disabling the rule 
alltogether.

Regards,

Chris.
