Well known multicast addresses
I have a problem with multicast.
On my LAN my provider has two Cisco routers (main and backup) talking using HSRP, but when main line goes down, the backup doesn't take the control (i.e. the virtual shared addess). They are connected to a 5304XL switch (fw 11.10).
My provider told me that the routers use multicast address 224.0.0.2 to communicate, but he found in the logs that two others devices on the LAN use the same address and this could (maybe) be is an issue.
The devices are special devices, unaccessible to me. My idea is to block multicast for all ports but the two routers' ports.
Unfortunately the manual (adv. traffic management guide) states that "well-known" addresses (224.0.0.x) are always forwarded.
What do you think about this?
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Re: Well known multicast addresses
The 5300's should use 224.0.0.2. Since it is the well known all router multicast address. Just like 224.0.0.1 is the one for all hosts.
Simply blocking all well known multicast addresses ewould have adverse affect. I.e. OSPF not working / RIP not working ... the list goes on.
you might want to look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk362/technologies_q_and_a_item09186a00800a9679.shtml
If you can give us a show run and on which ports the Cisco's are connected. We might pick something up. If you can also give us the ip address of the hsrp protected ip.

Re: Well known multicast addresses
A. The destination address of HSRP hello packets is the all routers multicast address
(224.0.0.2). The source address is the primary IP address of the router assigned to the
interface."
So can a RACL be applied to filter the traffic using the SOURCE ip address of the routers ??
Permitting only the traffic to the IP address of the other router ??

Re: Well known multicast addresses
The other option would be to sit your routers in there own subnet / vlan, as I think you need multicast routing enabled to route multicast addresses across subnets.

Re: Well known multicast addresses
It was a Cisco IOS issue. The releases on the routers was incompatible (only for HSRP).
After an update now all is OK.
Thanks anyway to all of you.
