A smurf attack is when a target is flooded with echo-replies (ICMP). When someone does a smurf attack they send echos to broadcast addresses. The return address is usually spoofed with your network. A good way to prevent from being attacked is to limit ICMP on your perimeter.

I think the "ip verify unicast reverse-path" command stops packets from sources of ip address not in the routing table. ie: without verifiable source address. But this major network is in the routing table of the router, so how this command stops the smurf attack

thanks

The access list was used to filter spoofed IP packets before this command
was introduced.

You need to understand what a SMURF attack is before you can know how to
stop it.

Google it.

Hi Group,

If your network(150.15.0.0/16) is subjected to smurf attack how do you
prevent it. Is it attck by inturder stealing your own ip address. Is the
following config is enough to stop the smurf attack.

access-list 101 deny ip 150.15.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
access-list 101 permit ip any any

int s 0
ip access-group 101 in

thanks

Mani
