Which port is used by ICMP?
There really is no "port" for icmp but there is a icmp code. If you are looking for the icmp code for echo-reply it is 0 and the echo is 8 For an access list you could do the following: permit icmp any any echo-reply permit icmp any any echo Or the same using the icmp code permit icmp any any 0 permit icmp any any 8
Why is it that an ICMP packet does not have source and destination port?
Because ICMP is on the network layer

Which port does ping uses?
The answer is none.No ports required for Ping as it uses icmp packets.It needs to allow icmp 'echo-request' (type 8) packets out and icmp 'echo-reply' (type 0) packets in.If you need to check the availability of a port, you must use a different tool, such as Paping.It doesnt use any port. Echo request is an ICMP message which is an Internet Layer Protocol so it is sent as an IP datagram.If you need to check the availability of a port, you must use a different tool, such as Paping.
How traceroute works?
The "traceroute" program uses ICMP messaging and the time to live (TTL) field in the IP header. It works by sending a packet to the intended host with a TTL value of 1. The first router will send back the ICMP "time exceeded" message to the sending host. Then the traceroute program will send a message with a TTL of 2, then 3, etc. This way it will get information about each router using the information received in the ICMP packets. To get information about the receiving host, the message is sent to a port that is not likely to be serviced by that host. A ICMP "port unreachable" error message is generated and sent back.
Which ICMP message contain part of the ip datagram?
All ICMP Error Messages
Where the icmp request are originated?
icmp request is orginated on the OSI network layer with ip protocol.
Why filtering ICMP traffics by ACLs is not advised?
Because ICMP traffic, notably ICMP ECHO REQUEST-0 and ECHO REPLY-8 are used in network diagnostic sequences.
Which protocol should be allowed when not able to ping a remote device residing behind a firewall?
ICMP is the internet control access protocol . ICMP is the plrotocol that should be allowed when not able to ping a remote device residing behind a firewall. ICMP is the protocol of network layer.
What is the response if a host sends a ICMP to a default gateway?
If devices on a network are properly configured, a host sending ICMP to a default gateway must receive a reply. ICMP simply means ping.
What does a flood guard protect against?
1- TCP SYN flood, 2- ICMP foold --> which are DoS attacks 3- Ping sweeps, 4- Port scans --> which are Reconnaissance attacks
What transport layer protocol does ping use?
Assuming IPv4 ICMP. Ping uses IP for transport. Ping in itself is an "Echo Request", which is a function of the ICMP protocol. The IP Packet will carry the ICMP protocol from end-to-end. ICMP has a protocol number of 1, so the "Protocol" field in the IPv4 header will contain "1" as a reference to the ICMP payload. For IPv6, ICMPv6 is used, and the transport will be IPv6.
