Use a link local address 224.0.0.0/24 if configurable; if not :
- igmp snooping querier
- if your multicast cluster doesn't use IGMP; disable IGMP snooping on the vlan

One option is the IGMP querier:
config t ip igmp snooping vlan 2
switch(config-vlan-config)# ip igmp snooping querier 10.0.10.253
(or a good source address of the interface)
The other option is run PIM on the VLAN interface:
feature pim
vlan 2
ip pim sparse-mode
Both has the same purpose: combined with IGMP snooping, the L3 interface will flood the VLAN with IGMP queries that traverse the inter-switch links. As a result, the inter-switch links will be included in the snooping port list. In turn,
packets destined to 228.5.10.5 will be sent out the inter-switch link and reach the other server.
Without the IGMP queries, 228.5.10.5 packets will not be sent from one switch to the other as it is not in the 224.0.0.0/24 range.
