Usage guidelines

If a host is configured to reply to multicast echo requests, an attacker can use this mechanism to attack the host. For example, the attacker can send an echo request to a multicast address with Host A as the source. All hosts in the multicast group will send echo replies to Host A.

To prevent attacks, do not enable the device to reply to multicast echo requests unless necessary.
