Hi All,

 

I have a problem with Policy ID 0, which is blocking certain broadcast traffic which is generating huge size of logs.

I googled and found the following command could stop this traffic:

 

config log setting   set local-in-deny-broadcast {enable | disable}     set local-in-deny-unicast {enable | disable} end   But my question is, why is it generating this much of deny logs ? how to identify the origin of this ? Please help me ...   Firewall version: 5.0.7   Thanks a trillion in advance !!!   Regards, Sridhar Sre

Look at the logs - they will tell you origin and destination.

 

I had similar problem, but not "huge size of logs". Destination was a (EIGRP) multicast address and it was received on a transparent mode VDOM that was also a management VDOM.

You can try to use

 

config system settings

  set ses-denied-traffic enable

end

 

to reduce the number of logs for denied traffic
