How does cisco ios firewall handle icmp traffic?

Cisco IOS firewalls handle ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) traffic by inspecting and filtering it based on configured access control lists (ACLs) and security policies. By default, ICMP messages such as echo requests (ping) can be allowed or denied depending on the rules set in the firewall configuration. Administrators can customize the handling of specific ICMP types, enabling or disabling traffic as needed for network security and performance. Additionally, the firewall can log ICMP traffic for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.


How do you enable ICMP on a cisco?

To enable ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) on a Cisco device, you typically need to ensure that the device's access control lists (ACLs) allow ICMP traffic. If you have an ACL that is blocking ICMP, you can modify it to permit ICMP packets by adding a rule like permit icmp any any. Additionally, make sure that any firewall features or security settings on the device do not block ICMP traffic. Once configured, you can test ICMP connectivity using tools like ping.

Which protocol is implicitly denied at the end of an IPv4 access list?

Standard ACLs filter IP packets at the source address only. Extended ACLs filter IP packets based on other protocols including; source and destination IP addresses, source and destination TCP and UDP ports and protocol types (IP, ICMP, UDP, TCP & Protocol No). The protocol that is implicitly denied due to filtration is HTTP.


What computer protocol should be blocked to prevent malicious traffic and Trojan's?

Pretty much every protocol used for malicious traffic and Trojans is also used for legitimate traffic. You cannot block all bad traffic just by filtering on protocols. When given that ICMP and HTTP are both allowed, if you have to block one, block ICMP. Choices were: DNS DHCP ICMP HTTP https://library.skillport.com/courseware/cbtlib/TPSY0201/metadata/eng/TPSY0201B.htm?
