Ports 67 & 68 (DHCP)

I have defined a network of 0.0.0.0/255.255.255.255 for local broadcast traffic. I created a rule to allow from the outside these 2 ports, yet continue to get the following drops in my syslog:
kernel: UDP Drop: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00[:D]0:58:7a:7c:54:08:00 SRC=stdhcp01.atl.mediaone.net DST=255.255.255.255 LEN=576 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=250 ID=13950 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=67 DPT=68 LEN=556 

Any ideas?

  • Gert,
    Thanks for the Broadcast tip. Been wondering how to get rid of those entries.

  • Hi Gert,
    I implemented this method to stop the logging of
    broadcast violations with no success:
     
    quote:
    to remove broadcast packets from the log you have to add the net
    global broadcast 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255
    and add a rule 
    Any Any global broadcast Drop
    now these packets should not be logged anymore.  

    The log entries continue from ports 138, 67, 68.
    Any suggestions? I'm using version 2.016. THX
  • we also try to filter dhcp- Broadcast.

    we defined a network broadcast32 255.255.255.255/255.255.255.255

    and a rule any any Broadcast32 drop.

    drop didn't work

    can any body help us? labs@mfh-iserlohn.de
