Blocking Large ICMP Packets

Because ICMP packets contain very short messages, there is no legitimate reason for large ICMP packets. If an ICMP packet is unusually large, something is wrong.

Before You Begin

For background information, read Understanding Large ICMP Packet Protection.

To block large ICMP packets, use the JUNOS CLI configuration editor. The specified security zone is the one from which the ICMP packets originated.

user@host# set security screen icmp-large icmp large
user@host# set security zones security-zone zone screen icmp-large
