CSF causing server Ping timeout
Posted by hbhb, 07-28-2008, 12:18 AM |
I just installed a fresh new server with CSF
Soon I find out that my ping keeps dropping. The server was smoothly running, SSH is smooth, Website are loading fine, except I cannot ping my server. I disable SELINUX completely and it still doesn't help.
When I disable CSF, my server ping are responding back!
So I remove CSF installation and reinstall CSF, the same problem appear
How can I solve this issue?
My kernel is 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5PAE running on latest version of cPanel on CentOS 5.1

Did you install this as part of a package, or did you install it from the source package?

Check the ping rate in CSF configuration
Increase the rate to 2-3 per second.

Allow incoming PING
ICMP_IN=1
# Set the per IP address incoming ICMP packet rate
# To disable rate limiting set to "0"
ICMP_IN_RATE=1/s
should i change it to 3/s ?i installed it by following

when i change ICMP_IN_RATE = 0 from 1/s, the ping works.
but is it safe?

it`s safe but not a good way, i think it`s better if you Set this per IP address
ICMP_IN_RATE =
