      Hi, I am trying to reduce the noise on the firewall log. I have added a test rule in an interface to block all IPv6 traffic and unchecked logging. I position it at the first entry of the firewall rule for that interface. 25a19723-e94b-4c5d-ac8b-d419a3118c67-image.png

      But i am still getting log entries.

      Any advice on what I could be missing?

      Thanks
      Nikk

        @nikk that block all IPv6 rule is above the rules in the gui.. You need to check here

        To remove the "block all IPv6" hidden rule that is logging that.

        IPv6 is still blocked if not actually allowed, like all traffic. But unchecking that creates a block all ipv6 rule is creating those logs.
