Hi all,

I am currently having an issue with our firewalls creating mutlicast storms on our switches. We have clustering enabled using a muticast address and have statically entered arp entries into all of our switches so that they accept the multicast address, but when I sniff on any port on the switch I see all traffic being sent to the fw as if I'm on a hub. I've read that enabling multicast mac with IGMP in voyager and IGMP snooping on the switch might resolve the issue. I've also read that muticast mac with IGMP snooping on voyager is a bad idea. My question is how do I resolve the issue of muticast storms on the swtich while still maintaining a clustered environment?

IPSO fwserver1 3.9-BUILD041
This is Check Point VPN-1(TM) & FireWall-1(R) NG with Application Intelligence (R55) HFA_17, Hotfix 670 - Build 005

Any help would be appricated.
