Ah, the age-old question: which firewall chain should you use to filter ICMP packets from the router? The answer, my friends, is always D) output... unless it's not.

Well, if you can't filter ICMP packets, I guess you could always just throw the router out the window. Problem solved!

A) input? Really? I don't think that's right. The question is specifically asking about the router itself, not external traffic.

D) output makes the most sense to me. Filtering ICMP packets from the router itself should happen on the way out, not in the other chains.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I was thinking B) postrouting, but I could be wrong.

I think the correct answer is D) output. ICMP packets from the router itself should be filtered in the output chain.

Yes, that's correct. The output chain is used to filter packets originating from the router itself.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be D) output because it filters packets generated by the router itself.

I agree with Lai, because input chain filters packets destined for the router itself.
