How to multicast through ASA IOS 8.6

[boris.majstorovic]

Hi all

I was not in multicast at all till now.

Now I have to configure Cisco ASA 5515 with IOS 8.6 to pass multicast traffic.

There are two multicast sream.

One is from inside to outside, second from outside to inside.

On the outside side is router(s), behind them I have listening station for one multicast stream and source for second multicast stream.

Also for stream going from inside to outside I have to translate destination address from 225.1.1.1 to 239.1.1.11.

Can someone direct me to fine document?

Thanks

For documentation on how to configure multicast, look here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa84/configuration/guide/route_multicast.html#wp1002608

Multicast routing is not supported if your firewall is running in multiple-context mode (only multicast bridging)

With regards to translating the multicast destination address, this can be done using NAT from ASA version 8.2 and above. For example:

static (inside,outside) 225.1.1.1 239.1.1.11 netmask 255.255.25.255

Hope this helps.
