This seems to be a bug. When using pppoe, the external interface address and the external broadcast address are the same. Therefore in daily reports, the external traffic is showing up as external network (Broadcast).
Hi Ian,
can you see from the packetfilter log what traffic it is that get's dropped?
Hi kai,
this is some sort of a bug. If you notice the screenshot that Ian posted, its not the top 10 dropped addresses, its the top 10 clients. So its not going to show up in packet filter logs. It seems to be the external network traffic.
I have the same problem by the way and the only thing Ian and I have in common is the pppoe connection.
Regards
Bill.
Edit: Just noticed in the daily executive report that the external ip also shows up as external broadcast in the application control section of the executive report. Screenshot added.
