Stop logging in firewall
-
Hi folks,
First post, take it easy! :P
My ISP being what they are; continue to bombard my connection with bootp packets from a private network address 10...*
these are filling my fw logs with nonsense and would prefer not to log the activity…
thus see only the alerts that I should be interested in...
can someone explain in very simple terms how to achieve this...

Create on your WAN a block firewallrule which is able to block the specific traffic you no longer want to see.
Put this block rule at the top and make sure logging is not enabled. -
Exactly what I did, however this continued to log hits, I do have bogons and private nets blocked via the setup wizard and this prevented me from putting this at the top of the fw rules.. any other suggestions (1.2.2)

Every 5 secs!
(I could have possibly set the rule up wrong or forgot to hit 'Apply')
OK - Its the DHCP offer, but how do I set this up NOT to log every single packet?
-
Disable the "block bogon" and "private nets" option and create the exact same rules yourself ;)

Isn't there a simpler method?
I'd need a bit of coaching to complete this endeavour
