Re: [FW1] Multicast address



I've had a quick read through - 1) doesn't apply as you don't use NAT, 2)
shouldn't apply as your using addresses from the same subnet for your pairs
of monitored firewall interfaces. 3) doesn't apply as you're using MCs.
Then again, I'm not sure if 2) applies or not, as I don't know your
addressing details.  Make sure both addresses are on the same subnet, and
the subnet mask has been properly setup.
