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 at the storage system command line: 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 will accept per second. Any further packets within 1 second are dropped. The default value is 150.
