Icmp time exceeded on route when replying to modbus tcp

Postby limboo13 » Mon Mar 06, 2023 10:02 am

Hi
I am using ESP32 with modbus tcp to connect from ESP32 as a slave to a master running on a device behind a router.
I am getting an error on the router with line icmp time exceeded when ESP32 is replying to the master. The packet routes just fine to the ESP32 and to the master but it gets dropped on the router in between on the way back. Is there any way to increase TTL for modbus ? It does not seem that the packet loops around because the destination ip is correct and the interface too. I am attaching the logs of the router in between the ESP32 and the modbus master. I am also running a websocket to a destination server which connects just fine.

It seems like the issue is with the router dropping the packet on the way back from the ESP32 to the master device. The error message suggests that the packet's TTL expired before reaching the destination. You can try increasing the TTL value of the packet, but it's not clear if that will solve the issue. It's possible that the router or firewall is blocking the packet. The logs suggest that the router is forwarding the packet to the correct destination, but the packet is still getting dropped. I recommend checking the router and firewall settings and make sure they allow the packet to pass through.

Hi Rudi
Thanks for replying.
Sorry my bad I forgot to mention that the router in between the route to the master is actually ESP32 too. I don't know if there is any firewall rules on ESP32. The ttl read from the ESP32 making the modbus response to the master is 255. Also the message that gets returned to the ESP32 making the modbus response is 'destination unreachable'. Which could mean that the ESP32 is just uncapable to route this modbus message. I am going to try earlier releases of IDF because I had some previous issues with upgrading to newer versions creating code compability issues. If anything comes to mind to try, please don't hesitate to reply.
