ipInterfaceIcmpRedirects

Module: CROUTE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CROUTE-MIB::ipInterfaceIcmpRedirects

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.31.1.2.1.13

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: enable - enable the sending of redirect messages if the router is forced to re-send a packet through the same interface on which it was received. disable - disable the sending of redirect messages on this interface.

What is ipInterfaceIcmpRedirects?

This read-write enumerated integer controls whether the router sends ICMP redirect messages on this interface when it has to resend a packet back out the same interface it arrived on. An admin disables this on interfaces facing untrusted networks since ICMP redirects can be abused to manipulate a host's routing table. For example, disabling ipInterfaceIcmpRedirects on an interface facing the public internet prevents an attacker from injecting bogus redirect messages to reroute traffic.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.31.1.2.1.13
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CROUTE-MIB::ipInterfaceIcmpRedirects

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.31.1.2.1.13.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CROUTE-MIB::ipInterfaceIcmpRedirects.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.81.31.1.2.1.13.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> ipInterfaceIcmpRedirects.1
