FWSM + Multicast

niro · ‎07-10-2008

I have a client which we connect to through the FWSM, this client now needs to send us some multicast traffic. We currently use multicast traffic heavily inside our network just not through the FWSM....how would I enable our servers to receive multicast traffic from this client through FWSM? It would only be one group (at least for now)...235.0.0.1 for example.

Our 6500 is running nativs IOS and the FWSM is in routed mode.

Can anyone help out on this?

You will need to configure

multicast routing

access-lists allowing the multicast traffic

access-group applied to the interface

and then use

igmp forward interface if_name

for appropriate interfaces.
