The multicast mode on switches without multicast support causes a packet storm, because the multicast packet going to go out of all interfases on the same vlan and then are seen by all routers and machines, then if a packet is seen by a router o another machine with routing enabled, then the packet going to be routed and send it again to the switch, and this proccess is repeated because this routed packet has a multicast MAC address, an so until TTL expires. | | The work arround to this issue is change your switch to another with multicast support or change Checkpoint mode to Unicast.
I have a bit of a problem with this. Because you combine layer 2 multicast behaviour with layer 3 info like the TTL. Those two do not add up in this way. The obvious thing to do here is to use tcpdump and measure this. One needs to get both IP and ethernet details. And no obscuring of the addresses as that is vital information. For all we know this x.x.x.x might in fact be a broadcast IP adres. Hugo. - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ PGP/GPG?
