Should I be worried? Severity="info" NBNS

So I have tons of these packets logged.

The machine is trying to connect through a NIC that is local only (no gateway) to port 137 on external IP addresses. I will contact the software manufacturer, but what is the threat of these packets?

Does the fact that the Astaro (v7.505) states severity="info" mean that this is just making me aware? If this was a threat would the severity value change?

Thanks!

Without looking at the complete log line, it's hard to say if this should worry you. In most logs, "info" just means that the programmer's code is working as designed.

I hope this helps. I modified the IPs, but this is what I see thousands of.

Thanks!
