      How would you recommend I resolve an IPv6 request in my log to a hardware client device?  Clicking resolve didn't seem to help me to figure out where the request was coming from.

        You would most likely need to track it down by mac..  Do a packet capture for the traffic, then find it via its mac address.  You can look up the mac address to what hardware it is, ie the vendor that owns that mac range.  Once you have the mac, if you have smart switch you can find it in your switches mac address table.

        Or see what device has the Ipv4 with that same mac.

              I was going to start the same thread, but found this request. It seems like a perfectly reasonable option to at least offer to disable logging for the global IPv6 switch. Renewing that request.

                "Renewing that request"

                So you put in a feature request in redmine to disable just ipv6 default rule logging vs default rule logging all together?

                  @johnpoz said in Block all IPv6 Log Entries - please help me to suppress:

                  Then turn of default rule logging

                  Can you help me with where this setting is? And what else will it suppress?

                    It would not log the default deny rules..

                    Its under the log settings.

                        You don't see them in the gui, they are hidden rules. If there is not a rule that allows - then it is denied.

                        If you want to see the full list of rules.
