Dude discovering devices on subnet and broadcast IPs

RouterOS The Dude

Hi,

I just upgraded to 6.38.1 on a RB-3011. I have set up dude, but am having problems with dude discovery detecting devices on the subnet and broadcast IP addresses. For example, if I have a subnet of 10.1.2.0/29, dude will detect the actual devices, but a rescan will add a device at 10.1.2.0 and 10.1.2.7. I was going to just blacklist those as a work arround, but I can’t figure out how to do that either because the interface differs from the pictures in the documentation. Specifically, I just have a drop down box for the black list without the .. and … buttons. Any ideas?

This is still an issue in 6.38.3

Changing back to normal ping discovery fixed this problem. Why does the detailed service based discovery detect devices on the broadcast and subnet IP addresses? Shouldn’t it be smart enough to know that could be any device talking?
