srr-queue bandwidth shape  10  0  0  0

auto qos voip trust

no mdix auto

storm-control broadcast level 50.00

storm-control multicast level 50.00

no cdp enable

spanning-tree portfast

spanning-tree bpduguard enable

service-policy input Scavenger

Certain Printers have discovery feature which sends multicast. Network Scanning etc etc.

Thats the reason you are seeing multicast packets in there.
