connection is broken after the timer expires.

Disabling ICMP to Send 
Error Packets
Sending error packets is a major function of ICMP protocol. In case of network 
abnormalities, ICMP packets are usually sent by the network or transport layer 
protocols to notify corresponding devices so as to facilitate control and 
management.
By default, Switch 4210 Family support sending ICMP redirect and destination 
unreachable packets.
Although sending ICMP error packets facilitate control and management, it still 
has the following disadvantages:
Sending a lot of ICMP packets will increase network traffic.
If receiving a lot of malicious packets that cause it to send ICMP error packets, 
the device’s performance will be reduced.
As the ICMP redirection function increases the routing table size of a host, the 
host’s performance will be reduced if its routing table becomes very large.
If a host sends malicious ICMP destination unreachable packets, end users may 
be affected.
You can disable the device from sending such ICMP error packets for reducing 
network traffic and preventing malicious attacks.
