Dropped ICMP packets from unknown interface

Fri Jan 07, 2011 3:04 pm

Hi guys,

My log is being cluttered with a lot of dropped ICMP packets that have the router's internal address both as source and destination. Here's an exempt from the log:
Jan/07/2011 14:40:03 firewall,info "Drop incoming" input: in:(unknown) out:(none), proto ICMP (type 3, code 1), 10.110.5.1->10.110.5.1, len 64

My question is, what are these packets and should I continue dropping them or not?

These are my firewall filter rules (the relevant rules are marked in bold):

Re: Dropped ICMP packets from unknown interface

Router is pinging itself that is why you see those packets. Check scripts, netwatch or any other part of configuration where ping is used to detect reachability.
