Want to block, but not log, broadcasts from WAN to 255.255.255.255:x
-
I've been trying for several days to figure out how to not log broadcasts coming in on my WAN to 255.255.255.255:x.
Most of them are coming from 169.254.x.x.How do I create a firewall rule that does this?
My attempts seem to be blocking them, but they are all appearing in and inundating the log. I supposedly have this rule turned off in the log.
Thanks,

@djenner8 Do you have the logs setting off to "Log packets matched from the default block rules in the ruleset"? That will eliminate a lot of noise.
On a given rule there is a setting "Log packets that are handled by this rule"...
-
@steveits I have per rule setting disabled for "Log packets that are handled by this rule" for the rule that supposedly blocks packets with destination 255.255.255.255 from any on the interface.
If I turn off "Log packets matched from the default block rules in the ruleset," the logging of the undesired logging does stop, but so does everything else I want to see. If I turn on that setting, the unwanted packets start logging again.
Thanks,
Dave
