Hello,
Does anyone know how to disable a router/gateway from sending ICMP
Redirect packets out?
They are allegedly breaking stuff on our network - although I don't see
why or how...
System is running:
Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche)
I have read:
Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and add the following line:
# Disable ICMP Redirect Acceptance
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
Although I assume that stops a host from receiving and processing
them...
Any ideas?
Thanks
