While working at a client site today, I was troubleshooting some ICMP connectivity for a network we have created.
I turned on 'debug ip icmp" on the 3550 switch int he middle, and was inundated with the following debug output:
Jan 25 11:01:14.641: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5
Jan 25 11:01:14.641: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5
Jan 25 11:01:14.641: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5
Jan 25 11:01:14.641: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5
Jan 25 11:01:14.641: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5

Jan 25 11:01:14.649: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5
Jan 25 11:01:14.653: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5
Jan 25 11:01:14.653: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5
Jan 25 11:01:14.653: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5
Jan 25 11:01:14.653: ICMP: dst (172.16.1.7) port unreachable rcv from 172.16.1.5
This output fires several times a second, and based on how often it is firing, I am curious if it may be a culprit with respect to the fact that the client has indicated that they have some slow internet.
Should the next step be to look at the workstation at 172.16.1.5? I do need to get this issue resolved.
Thanks in advance for any help.
