Are you running anything else on the NetView machine?
I would not expect to see a ping that large coming
from netmon. If you would like, post a hex dump of the
packet. I wouldn't mind looking at it....

Good morning all,
in our firewall we see large ICMP packets coming from Netview. These
packets are being considered an attack by the firewall as they are too
large. (1464 bytes). Why is Netview sending such large ICMP queries?
I have tried pinging from the commandline of the NMS (AIX 5.0) and then we
have ICMP packets of a "normal" size. (64 bytes) Is there a way to set the
ICMP packetzsize that Netview uses?
