Determine the version of Solaris 11 in use. # cat /etc/release If the version of Solaris is earlier than Solaris 11.2, determine if ICMP redirect messages are disabled. # ipadm show-prop -p _send_redirects -co current ipv4 # ipadm show-prop -p _send_redirects -co current ipv6 If the output of all commands is not "0", this is a finding. If the version of Solaris is Solaris 11.2 or later, determine if ICMP redirect messages are disabled. # ipadm show-prop -p send_redirects -co current ipv4 # ipadm show-prop -p send_redirects -co current ipv6 If the output of all commands is not "off", this is a finding.
