Prinergy servers show abnormal amounts of ICMP traffic


Product

  Prinergy Connect 2.0

Platform

 

Server: Dell all; Client: PC or Macintosh

Operating system

 

Server: Windows 2000; Client: Windows or Macintosh


Error

 


Symptoms

 

Using network analysis software such as Windows 2000 Network Monitor, you notice an abnormal amount of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Destination Unreachable messages originating from a Prinergy server, even when Prinergy is not running. This may be mistaken for a virus attack.


Cause

  Dell's OpenManage IT Assistant software is searching for other systems on the network. When enabled, the software will automatically search for other systems with OpenManage installed.

Solution

 

1. In Preferences for OpenManage IT Assistant, select Default Discovery and uncheck the following:

- Enable System Discovery

- Enable System Status

- Discover Only Instrumented Systems

2. In Subnet Discovery, remove all listed subnets.

Permanent fix:
