Hi There,
I am having problem with an mx960 which seems to drop ICMP traffic but I do not have any evidence on logs. This is just an assumption due to the alarm i am receving from the monitoring system.
The moniotring system report the router down even if the router is just fine.
Assuming I have firewall filter to protect the RE to limit the ICMP traffic.
Assuming that the poller is polling the router NOT pinging the IP address of the Loopback interface BUT an IP applied to a physical interface on the router itsels.
Question:
Is this icmp traffic rate-limited by the firewall filter applied to the loopback interface?
Or even better: is the ICMP traffic destinated to any interface configured on the router ALWAYS processed by the RE?
Finally, can you please give an example of traffic detsinated to the RE?
I am reading DAY ONE: SECURING THE ROUTING ENGINE ON M, MX, AND T SERIES but the above question are not really answered clearly.
Thanks.
