Those are probably discovery type protocols running.

Thanks. &nbsp;Any clues for Nokia (Checkpoint)? &nbsp;I need a specific answer.<br />

No, I don't have anything specific for you.<br />
It all depends on how the Checkpoint is configured, what services are running, what protocols, etc.<br />

I just found out the reason. &nbsp;It is required for Checkpoint Clustering. &nbsp;I haven't found a URL yet though. &nbsp;This is from the network team.

Is the problem resolved?

The title says it all. &nbsp;I have 2 checkpoint firewalls that have the source as themselves and the destination as the multicast network (224.0.0.0 255.0.0.0). &nbsp;Does this make any sense to anyone? &nbsp;Why would this be the case? &nbsp;I know nothing about the Nokias, but I'm familiar with basic firewall setup.

The title says it all.  I have 2 checkpoint firewalls that have the source as themselves and the destination as the multicast network (224.0.0.0 255.0.0.0).  Does this make any sense to anyone?  Why would this be the case?  I know nothing about the Nokias, but I'm familiar with basic firewall setup.

Why would Multicasting be set to go from the Nokia to the multicast network?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).

Network Analysis

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
