Hi,<br />
<br />
Check with:<br />
sysctl net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_<wbr />all<br />
<br />
If 0 then:<br />
echo &quot;1&quot; &gt;&nbsp;net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_<wbr />all<br />
<br />
You might want to check this also.<br />
sysctl -a | egrep accept_redirects<br />
sysctl net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus<wbr />_error_res<wbr />ponses<br />

</div>


Hi,

Check with:
sysctl net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all

If 0 then:
echo "1" > net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all

You might want to check this also.
sysctl -a | egrep accept_redirects
sysctl net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses

Argh. Sorry. Read icmp instead of igmp.
</div>


<div>
I found an old document that said that you should have 0 on both membership and filters for igmp to disable it.<br />
<br />
This should do then.<br />
<br />
echo &quot;0&quot; &gt;&nbsp;/proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_ma<wbr />x_membersh<wbr />ips<br />
echo &quot;0&quot; &gt;&nbsp;/proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_ma<wbr />x_msf<br />

</div>

echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_max_memberships
echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_max_msf

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
