Disables the modification of route table information when an ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) redirect message is received.
This command has no arguments or variables.
Disabled.
This option only applies to the switch when the switch is not in routing mode.
If the switch has a route to a destination network, the switch uses that router as the gateway to forward the packets to. If that router knows about a better route to the destination, and the next hop is in the same subnet as the originating router, the second router sends an ICMP redirect message to the first router. If ICMP useredirects is disabled, the switch disregards these messages and continues to send the packets to the second router.
The following example disables the changing of routing table information:
disable icmp useredirects
