We have many Uniview and Microdigital cameras. ipc324sb-DF28K-i0, MDC-M8040FTD-30 ...
The cameras generate a lot of traffic at 255.255.255.255.
A packet from Wireshark for example:
42 2022-03-24 15:33:23.608671 192.168.0.22 255.255.255.255 IPv4 1514 Fragmented IP protocol (proto=UDP 17, off=0, ID=1256)Ethernet II, Src: Zhejiang_27:7b:7f (6c:f1:7e:27:7b:7f), Dst: Broadcast (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff)
Why do I need this traffic and can I disable it?
