Is it possible to use the ICMP protocol with Azure Sphere Dev Kit?


At the moment I'm developing a network monitoring with the Azure Sphere Dev Kit.

I'm using the MT3620 Dev Kit from Seeed.

My problem at the moment is that I want to use ICMP packets to create something like ping but I always get the message that the "Operation is not permitted".

I have read some articles and one said that Azure VMs block ICMP traffic (see here).

So, my question is if it is possible to creaete and send ICMP packets with the Azure Sphere Dev Kit? Does anyone have experience with that?


Solution

  • ICMP (“ping”) is not supported. You can’t ping the device, nor can it send pings. You can open a Feature request for Azure Sphere team here: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/915433-azure-sphere
