Reduce broadcast traffic

Wed May 09, 2018 8:10 am

Hi guys, I probably have a lot of broadcast traffic on my network.
Can I reduce this with a firewall rule in the Mikrotik router?
I can not apply client isolation because I share 5 cameras, a NAS and a printer.
Can I see with Wireshark whether it is broadcast traffic or something else?
If so, what is the procedure to be able to read that?

Like your advice

Apply these rules to see what multicast traffic you have

Hello Bartoz, Thank you for your quick response.
Do I have to use these IPs or the IPs of my network?

These ... ther are standarized addresses for multicast so you can track what traffic is in your LAN.
