    As per the 7.0.4.8 RN this was added (after loooong fights):

     

    • Introduced an option to enable/disable switch discovery (SSDP/UPnP) protocol

     

    Something like there, but not near to any switch:

     

    System -> Management -> Switch Discovery .

     

    PS. Be aware the devices don't chatter on thier own - you must have systems on your network doing some M-SEARCH multicasts on 239.255.255.250, the reply is sent to the requsting IP as a UDP unicast packet 8-) - so the noise is not caused by the device. And no broadcasts involved by the way, too.
