Source & destination mac address in logs?

Can anybody explain what the source mac address & destination mac address relates to in the firewall logs?

The reason I ask is because of the logs below. The source IP addresses (3rd octet = 26, 11 & 27) are 60 miles apart from each other??

  • Hi Louis,

    If you have Anti-DoS enable for UDP packets, you can discover these drops if there is a heavy UDP flood going around, it will also depend on the packet per second ratio which is set in Anti-DoS options. I guess the MAC address is over UTM's interface, again a wild guess as I don't know the present configurations on UTM.

    Thanks

    172.31.27.34

    :

    16403   =  TOWN C

    All in different locations ie towns about 60 miles apart from each other and using the same source port within seconds of each other? I find that really strange.
