Re: [FW-1] icmp packet drops?



Open SmartDefense and change the ICMP packet Size to 128bytes instead of
64bytes.  ICMP packets will get dropped because some cisco switches tend ot
increase the packet size above 64K.

Out of nowhere, I seem to be getting a lot of ICMP drops as per below.  Any
reason why I would be getting these out of nowhere? Since they are not rule
generated; how can I turn off the logging on them? A setting in global
properties I assume, or can I do it per enforcement module? NG AI on IPSO
