[QUOTE="TuxTalk, post: 1026603, member: 97339"] The DHCP interception is for detecting devices entering the network (example: your home wifi). This serves two purposes: 1: vulnerability scanning and 2: if one owns a subscription with free slots and a new device supporting one of our products is connecting into the network, we suggest installing protection on it. The new setting - default OFF - is to use only the light detection on DHCP port. Previously more traffic was analyzed but we come up with this split into lighter (OFF) and heavier (ON) device detection - the latter being for certain users running custom DHCP server software on their machines.
