"DoS attack: Fraggle Attack" almost every 10 seconds
Hello. I replaced an aging gateway firewall/router/gateway lately and my Nighthawk X6S has plenty of this Fraggle Attack in its Log. Does anyone know what is this? What port/s does this pertain to...
Even if I disable the reporting of the DoS attacks on the Log, it is still obvious that it is still being recorded. The reason I say this is when I re-enable the DoS attack, old entries pop up on the display! It is obviously eating processor time writing those events in the log.
The Nighthawk X6S processor is damn slow!
I think I'm ready to replace it.
I was concerned about that, I ran several tests and did not see a performance hit. I don't think it's using much processing since there are attacks for it to block. I'm pretty sure it's a coding issue reacting to something. If you find a better product do tell.... Cisco stopped support their usb modem backup feature, I switched to this one.
