the largest ping packet that is able to go through our PIX515 (software version 7.2(2)) is 992 bytes. Larger packets are dropped. MTU size is 1500 and we have a statement "sysopt connection tcpmss 1460". What is necessary to increase the possible packet size for a ping?

Please log in for more thread options  offered no way to adjust the maximum. Are you getting IDS 2151 (message 400024) generated, "Large ICMP" ? The documentation for that indicates the limit is 1024 bytes including IP headers. You could -try- disabling inspect icmp, but I don't know if that will work. I've searched through the 7.2 command reference, but do not see any adjustment method documented. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

We don't know if that's a feature of the host we're testing rather than the FWSM. Sam | ||||||||||||||||||||||
