You have to configure the switch to forward all multicast packets to the port the FW is connected to.

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
