Intrusion logging on cable internet

Mar 22, 2006 0 Replies

Is there anything special that needs to be set up for a router/firewall to log only unsolicited incoming connection attempts and attacks, and not local broadcast traffic (on the cable internet)? Namely, when I tried either D-Link DI-604 or Level One's 1412, for example, they only logged "Unrecognized attempt blocked from ... to ...". But when I connected ASUS WL500gx to my cable modem, it would log a tremendous amount of traffic, most of which were (I presume) local broadcasts (UDP) from somebody else's IP to 255.255.255.255. What's the deal here?
