I have qwest dsl. The modem is set up in bridge mode (essentially it's
just a transceiver.)
m0n0wall is authenticating via PPPoE, and NAT/Firewall are working perfectly.
My concern is that ipf is blocking ospf requests from qwest. Will this
be a problem? Is it possible/safe to create an ipf rule to not log
these requests, as they are very frequent (see output from ipmon
below. I removed the source IP...and the 224 is obviously the ospf
broadcast address.)

I did search the mailing list, and read all the various posts
about/requesting ospf support, and can understand why it's not
included. I'm not asking for this feature, just trying to understand
if blocking these will affect me.

anyone?

TIA,
-Anders.
