Disable logging of specific drop rule

bonne1

A host on my local network is filling up packetfilter.log - until I get a hold of it, I want to drop and not log packages.

I have created a specific rule for it, and I have not been ticking the "log" box. Still packages are logged in packetfilter.

How to avoid this?

Regards, Lars.

    Hi, Lars, and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Please show us one of the lines from the packetfilter log and insert a picture of your firewall rule.

    Cheers - Bob

    Hi Lars,

    I had the same problem with my cable modem. The management interface sends DHCP requests all the time to get an IP address from the UTMs WAN interface. I added a rule to the firewall which should silently drop those packets. But I choosed the wrong interface in the host object for my cable modem, so the log stil showed the packets.
    If it's the same problem you have, try to select "Any" under "Advanced" -> "Interface" in the host / network for your host / source object.
