Setting the Minimum Packet Gap
The minimum packet gap is the time required between sending messages of a like type. For instance, if the
minimum packet gap for Address Mask request messages is 40 microseconds, and an Address Mask
message is sent, at least 40 microseconds must pass before another one could be sent.
To set the minimum packet gap, use the min-pkt-gap keyword with any of the ICMP control commands.
For example, to set the Source Quench minimum packet gap to 100 microseconds, enter the following:
-> icmp type 4 code 0 min-pkt-gap 100
Likewise, to set the Timestamp Reply minimum packet gap to 100 microseconds, enter the following:
-> icmp timestamp reply min-pkt-gap 100
The default minimum packet gap for ICMP messages is 0.
ICMP Control Table
The ICMP Control table displays ICMP control messages, whether they are enabled or disabled, and the
minimum packet gap times. Use the show icmp control command to display the table.
ICMP Statistics Table
The ICMP Statistics table displays ICMP statistics and errors. This data can be used to monitor and trou-
bleshoot IP on the switch. Use the show icmp statistics command to display the table.
