HP 2650: ICMB burst-max/burst-normal?

[David Nemeth]

On an HP 2650 what is the command to limit "the Maximum number of ICMP replies to send per second?" (Burst-Normal on pg 7-13 in the Advanced Traffic Managemnt Guide?)

I tried the following command with not luck...
ip icmp burst-max 5000

[David Nemeth]

The subject should have been ICMP (not ICMP)

[Ron Kinner]

The syntax requires the burst-normal parameter too:

ip icmp burst-normal 5000 burst-max 10000 lockup 300

Ron,

I tried to enter the command you had mentioned, but I received the following error:

hp2650(config)# ip icmp burst-normal 5000 burst-max 10000 lockup
300
Invalid input: burst-max
hp2650(config)#

Then I tried to press tab to see what are some of the other options for that command and it didn't list anything else after it...

hp2650(config)# ip icmp burst-normal 5000

hp2650(config)# ip icmp burst-normal 5000

I wonder if this only on certain versions of the ProCurve line...

David,

Here is the command syntax as it is displayed at the switch's CLI.

HP ProCurve Switch 2650(config)# ip icmp burst-normal help
Usage: ip icmp burst-normal <0-1000000>

Description: The maximum number of icmp replies to send per second.

HP ProCurve Switch 2650(config)#

To set a maximum of 5000 ICMP replies per second, the command would be:
ip icmp burst-normal 5000
