Explanation of Drop code and Module-ID Values in Packet Capture Output (SonicOS 6.1.2.2-14n)

Description

When viewing output on the System | Packet Capture page, there are two fields that display potentially useful diagnostic information in numeric format:

  • The Module-ID field provides information on the specific area of the firewall appliance's firmware that handled a particular packet.
  • The Drop-Code field provides a reason why the appliance dropped a particular packet.

This article provides a list of the Module-ID and Drop-Code numbers along with their meanings.

The following Drop-Codes were extracted from SonicOS Enhanced 6.1.2.2-14n firmware version, however these codes may change when a new firmware is available.
