Hi all

Im seeing an odd warning in the logs of my router, address seems to be within my network, however there is no device allocated to that address?

|Security|Warning|Detect UDP port scan attack, scan packet from 192.168.8.200

How do i best troubleshoot this to stop it occurring?

Thats an internal IP I would check for Malware on your devices

It's always .200 which is the highest the range is set to.

Is there a general method to tracking down the root cause? it cant be pinged and there is no device associated with that address being leased...ever?

EDIT-Found it, its an HDR. I'm learning slowly to understand this sort of stuff.

If its being picked up as a warning, its it necessarily bad?

hsvhel:

it cant be pinged

give it a ping and then do an arp -g

If it's real then you should get a MAC address in the arp cache. You can then look up the oui to see the manufacturer of the network adapter in it.

HDR for cameras, looking into why its occurring with suppliers. Need to understand why its happening and if its a real risk or one the router is flagging but in reality is not

I have had situations where Ricoh Printers "call home to report pages used and toner levels" trigger IPS alerts in a Sonicwall and the connection is blocked when infact it is genuine - Had to put in an exception in for it, you will often get False positives with these things

Interesting, i suspect this maybe doing the same to some degree. Although i don't see why it needs to?!? And if it does, what exactly it's intending to send (for privacy reasons)
