Packet Dropped

[ashutosh86dwivedi]

Hi Team,

Need your help.

While running global counter I can see continously packets are gettignn dropped with below error.

a609598@paf-ld6-mvs-01-01(active)> show counter global filter packet-filter yes delta yes severity drop

Global counters:
Elapsed time since last sampling: 9.310 seconds

name                                   value     rate severity  category  aspect    description
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
flow_fwd_l3_bcast_drop                     2        0 drop      flow      forward   Packets dropped: unhandled IP broadcast
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total counters shown: 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If someone can please let me know what does this mean and how to resolve it. BIT URGENT.

Any leads would be appreciated.

Regards,

Ashutosh

hi @ashutosh86dwivedi

these are packets directed at the broadcast address of the local subnet (eg 10.0.0.255 of 10.0.0.0/24)

these are not supposed to be routed out so they get discarded

you already have a packetfilter set up that sees these, so enabling packetcapture in the drop stage should reveal these
