Disabling and Reenabling ICMP Redirect Messages
An ICMP redirect is a message sent by the router to alert a host that it should be
using a different path to route data.
In some cases, you do not want an interface to send out redirects. For example, in
a frame relay network, two stations on the same network may not be directly
connected if the network is not fully meshed. Thus, in this case, you would disable
redirects on this interface.
By default, IP sends ICMP redirect messages. You can use the BCC or Site
Manager to disable and reenable this feature on an IP interface as required.
Using the BCC
Navigate to an IP interface-specific prompt and enter
redirects
state
state is
on (default)
off
For example, the following command turns off ICMP redirect messages on IP
interface 2.2.2.2.
ip/2.2.2.2# redirects off
ip/2.2.2.2#
