The system must ignore ICMP redirect messages.

Rule version SOL-11.1-050070 · STIG v3 · 2026-08-19

Discussion

Ignoring ICMP redirect messages reduces the likelihood of denial of service attacks.

Check

Determine if ICMP redirect messages are ignored.

# ipadm show-prop -p _ignore_redirect -co current ipv4
# ipadm show-prop -p _ignore_redirect -co current ipv6

If the output of all commands is not "1", this is a finding.

Fix

The Network Management profile is required.

Disable ignore redirects for IPv4 and IPv6.

# pfexec ipadm set-prop -p _ignore_redirect=1 ipv4
# pfexec ipadm set-prop -p _ignore_redirect=1 ipv6
