So after seven years of happily using UTM I thought I had all pretty well down pat, but now I find myself in a state of confusion.
Someone has added a Mac Pro onto a subnet here, and I suddenly am getting lots of log entries like "Default Drop BNJP <New System's IP> 224.0.0.1:8612". Looking up 8612, most sources say that BJNP means (Canon) BubbleJet Network Protocol (and the owner says there was a Canon printer installed on it some time back), but a few claim it's actually Bonjour.
See https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/f/network-protection-firewall-nat-qos-ips/41766/bjnp---default-drops-for-mac-client, for example.
The answer given there -- turn it off on the Mac Pro -- isn't an option for me here, so I just want it out of the logs.
Which brings me to the problem: there doesn't seem to be any way to get it out of the logs. You would expect that a Drop LocalSystem > BJNP > Any with no logging, placed at the top of the rules, would remove it from the logs, but it doesn't. Neither does adding a new protocol for TCP/UDP dest port 8612 catch it.
In fact, the only way I can find to remove it is a rule like Drop LocalSystem > Any > 224.0.0.1, which I don't want, because there might be other valid packets to 224.0.0.1 (athough, admittedly, if I understand correctly that's the special Multicast "All Computers" destination, so the UTM should neither process it nor pass it through anywhere).
Is BJNP perhaps something other than standard UDP/TCP?
Thanks for any enlightenment,
Paul
