RE: Multicasting to Firewall-1

[Jesper Wall]

You have to configure the switch to forward all multicast packets to the port the FW is connected to.   /Jesper -----Original Message----- From: Donovan O'Brien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: den 13 december 2000 21:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Multicasting to Firewall-1 Basic multicast question here, if I ping any arbitrary multicast address from a box connected to a switch, shouldn't every local server attached to that switch see the packet?  I am not asking if they would accept it, they are not part of the group, I am just asking if the NIC will get the packet.  I am trying that and the checkpoint firewall I have on the switch never receives a packet.           i.e.     ping  224.0.6.1
