Configuring the Junos OS to Disable the Routing Engine Response to Multicast Ping Packets
By default, the Routing Engine responds to Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo requests sent to multicast group addresses. To disable the Routing Engine from responding to ICMP echo requests sent to multicast group addresses, include the no-multicast-echo statement at the [edit system] hierarchy level:
[edit system]no-multicast-echo;
By configuring the Routing Engine to ignore multicast ping packets, you can prevent unauthorized persons from discovering the list of provider edge (PE) routers or switches in the network.
