Symptoms
The Secure Application Switch log fills with messages like this:

ID	Date	           Level Subsystem	Message
10271 	9/7/2006-08:41:00 warning IP 	101a9: ICMP echo reply failed - IP unable to send to 10.1.50.4
10269 	9/7/2006-08:40:55 warning IP 	101a9: Last message repeated 4 times
10268 	9/7/2006-08:40:55 warning IP 	101a9: ICMP echo reply failed - IP unable to send to 10.1.50.4

Resolution
The problem is usually caused by some application that is sending
ICMP echo request such as IPMP probes to an interface on the switch
and the switch/vrouter does not have an IP route back to the sender.
Check to see if no routes is increasing.

IE:

sun.250(vSwitch-e-commerce vRouter-default)# show ip statistics
In Receives:                                   4925637

In IP Options:                                 0
Out Requests:                                  7482149
Out Discards:                                  0
Out No Routes:                                 70   <----Out no Routes increase

To correct the problem, insure that the vrouter has a route back
to the system that is sending the ICMP echo request, or disable
the application that is sending the ICMP echo request.
