RE: Question about the ICMP attack

Rate Limiting for ICMP/Smurf
Configure the following access-lists:

access-list 102 permit icmp any any echo
access-list 102 permit icmp any any echo-reply

interface <interface> <interface #>
  rate-limit input access-group 102 256000 8000 8000 conform-action
  transmit exceed-action drop

In order to enable CAR, CEF must be enabled on the box, and the interface
configured for CAR must be a CEF-switched interface.

The bandwidth values used above are for DS3 type bandwidths. Values should
be picked based on the interface bandwidth and the rate at which you want
to limit a traffic type. For smaller ingress interfaces, you may wish to
configure lower rates.
