Friday, October 11, PM. Monday, October 14, AM. I article says that ICMP redirects are supported. My question is why doesn't it work? This data is used by the source of the datagram to match the message to the appropriate process.
Use Ethanalyzer packet capture tool with detail keyword to display content of ICMP Redirect messages and find IP address information of the data flow which is sub-optimally forwarded.
If network design requires traffic flow to be routed out of the same Layer 3 interface on which it entered the switch or router, it is possible to prevent the flow from being routed through the CPU by explicitly disabling ICMP Redirect functionality on corresponding Layer 3 interface. In the early days of the Internet such optimisation helped to save expensive network resources, like link bandwidth and routers' CPU cycles. As network bandwidth became more affordable, and relatively slow CPU-based packet routing evolved into faster Layer 3 packet forwarding in dedicated hardware ASICs, the importance of optimal data transit through multi-point network segments decreased, and is not getting as much attention of network designers today as it used to.
However, its attempts to notify network nodes on multi-point Ethernet segments about optimal forwarding paths are not always understood and acted upon by network personnel. In networks with combined use of various forwarding mechanisms, such as Static Routing, Dynamic Routing and Policy-Based Routing, leaving ICMP Redirect functionality enabled without proper monitoring may result in undesirable use of transit node s CPU to handle production traffic.
This, in turn, may cause significant impact both on production traffic flows and on control plane stability of network infrastructure. For most networks it is considered a good practice to proactively disable ICMP Redirect functionality on all Layer 3 interfaces in network infrastructure.
This helps to prevent scenarios of production data traffic being handled in CPU of Layer 3 switches and routers when there is a better forwarding path through mutli-point network segments. Skip to content Skip to search Skip to footer. Available Languages.
Download Options. Updated: October 17, Contents Introduction. When Host sends a packet to destination network X, the following happens 1. However, if Host uses ICMP Redirect messages to adjust its routing cache and starts sending subsequent data packets directly to G2, the following benefits are achieved in this scenario optimisation of data forwarding path through the network; traffic reaches its desination faster reduction of network resources utilization, such as bandwidth and router CPU load As shown in Picture 2 , after Host created route cache entry for Network X with G2 as its next hop, these benefits are seen in the network: bandwidth utilization on the link between Switch and router G1 decreases in both directions CPU utilization on router G1 reduces, because traffic flow from Host to Network X does not traverse this node anymore end-to-end network delay between Host and Network X improves.
W hen Host sends packet to destination Network X, the following happens in the network 1. Static Routing To illustrate this, consider scenario in Picture 4. Note : For more information on Ethanalyzer, refer to Ethanalyzer on Nexus Troubleshooting Guide Picture 7 shows scenario similar to the one on Picture 3. Use the following command to capture ICMP traffic received and sent by Nexus CPU Nexus ethanalyzer local interface inband capture-filter icmp limit-captured-frames Capturing on inband Below is a per-packet breakdown of this packet group First packet is the ingress data packet, which in this example is an ICMP Echo Request.
This packet is sent back to the host.

Follow these steps to verify that ICMP Redirect functionality is disabled ensure no ip redirects command is added to interface configuration Nexus show run interface vlan 10 interface Vlan10 no shutdown no ip redirects ip address Contributed by Cisco Engineers Nikolay Kartashev. The Microsoft documents on ICMP redirect for Win7 states that an entry is added to the routing table for 10 minutes, this is not happening.
This is an annoying situation because the packets get duplicated plus the network gets flooded with ICMP redirect. Anyone here encountered this before and solved it? I've been looking for a fix for the past days and I am getting nowhere.
Unfortunately that was a Windows bugs fixed in one of it's SP. Granted, when I read the article a few days ago during my research on the problem,I tried it just to make sure this bug had not come back hunting us, but no, no changes. I know this is an old topic but I was wondering if you have found and resolution to this? I think I am experiencing a similar problem. We run our main application that operates on an Oracle backend.
WireShark on the connection shows that the users traffic goes to their default gateway, which replies with the ICMP redirect, the traffic then redirects to the proper gateway to hit the link back to my main site.
I disabled ICMPredirects and put a static route on the test machine which looks to have helped for now. Unfortunately, this key seems to control whether or not my system will respond to ICMP redirects, not whether or not it will send them out.
