Handling of Multicast traffic in PIX

[deepakd]

Hello All,

I am confused with handling of multicast traffic in PIX firewall. Some documents say PIX cannot handle multicast traffic and there are some documents which state how to configure multicast interfaces in PIX. I would appreciate if someone can shed some light on this topic.

Thanks

Multicast traffic handling was supported in PIX v6.2 and onwards, I guess if you're reading older documentation then they may say that it is not supported, but as I said, in v6.2 and higher it is.

Command reference is here:
