Increasing the ping throttling threshold value

If your storage system supports a very large number of CIFS clients that use ICMP pings to determine CIFS shares accessibility, you might need to increase the ping throttling threshold value.

Step

  1. Enter the following command: options ip.ping_throttle.drop_level packets_per_second
    packets_per_second specifies the maximum number of ICMP echo or echo reply packets (ping packets) that the storage system accepts per second. Any further packets within 1 second are dropped. The default value is 150.
