Getting huge UDP request discard

[Ramesh M]

Hi,

I  getting below error continuously from the ASA.

Dec 07 2013 11:30:02: %ASA-7-710005: UDP request discarded from 10.109.6.1/67 to inside:255.255.255.255/68

Dec 07 2013 11:24:00: %ASA-7-710005: UDP request discarded from 0.0.0.0/68 to inside:255.255.255.255/67

What is port number 67 and 68 and its refering the IP address 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255

Please sugget me the possible reasons and how to rectify the same.

Regards / Ramesh M

Hi,

Seems to be DHCP related broadcast traffic that is reaching the ASA.

To my understanding this should be normal if you have a LAN network directly connected to the ASA and you are using some internal DHCP server but not the ASA.
