ICMP UNREACH

Wim Van den Wyngaert — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:24:02 GMT

TCP 5.3 eco 2 on 7.3.

"ucx show prot icmp" shows
"unreachables disabled".

ucx set [config] prot icmp/unreach says unsupported.

How do you configure this item ? I checked sysconfig but found nothing.

There are parts of this TCPIP stack (ported from HPUX?) which are not usable on VMS.
Perhaps this is one of those?

They put a mixer on ucx and tru64 stack.

ucx had ucx set prot icmp/unreach. And it now says "unsupported". Could mean "gone" or that it's done on another place.
The set config accepts the value but after a reboot it's still disabled.
