Dear Group,

Need your help in setting up the following :-

SETUP :- There are 2 core switches SW1 & Sw2 (connected back to back with
both
the SUP GE ports Fiber uplink (Channeld and trunk). On one of the switch
(SW1)
I have 2 firewalls connected in cluster mode. For this clustered firewall  I
have bind the multicast mac address on the switch SW1 as the recommended
method by the firewall vendor by the command (set cam permanent ).

Now the problem faced here is since they have only bind the mac address to 2
ports on SW1 (switch one ONLY) there seems to be some multicast packets
flooding on my  second core switch SW2 for that multicast address.

The customer wants to stop this broadcast from hapening on 2nd switch SW2 and
hence wants to bind the same multicast mac address on the 2nd Switch with the
trunk ports going to SW1 from SW2.

Has anybody faced similar situation ?? Is this configuration supported. Can I
bind the cam entry to my trunk port on the SW2 as well with the same
multicast
mac address??

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks
Hitesh
