Diagnostic Details
__________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
An ICMP Network Redirect message has been sent.
__________________________________________________________________
Probable Cause(s):
1. If a router has a routing table problem, it may send this message.
2. A router may send this message if according to its (proper) routing tables it finds a
shorter path via a different router.
3. The source may have an incorrectly configured subnet mask.
4. The host (source) may have an old routing table.
__________________________________________________________________
Recommended Action(s):
1. Check the routing tables of the router that this message was generated from.
2. Check the netmask configuration of the source.
3. Ignore this message if the redirect message is valid (no action required).
