DISABLE ICMP REDIRECTS ON HOSTS

We don’t want ICMP redirects in our network.
So we have to disable it in sysctl.conf and role-specific files, like

  • rc.conf
  • rb.conf
  • lb.conf
  • nas.conf
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.secure_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.send_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.secure_redirects = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects = 0

Steps:

  • install new sysctl config files
  • update current values
    for f in $(find /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/ -name 'send_redirects'); do echo 0 > "${f}"; done
    

Also we have to review it on bgw*o and bgw*.sgo
