ip icmp-timestamp
Overview
Use this command to allow ICMP timestamp request and response packets.
Use the no variant of this command to drop ICMP timestamp request and response
packets.
You may wish to drop these packets because the ICMP timestamp response
contains the device's date and time. This information could theoretically be used
against some systems to exploit weak time-based random number generators in
other services. In addition, it may be possible to fingerprint devices by analyzing
their responses to invalid ICMP timestamp requests.
