Multicast is not normally routed between subnets as that's exactly the kind of traffic you are trying to block by separating into two subnets/VLANs.<br />
You may need to configure an IP helper configuring as this monitors VLAN 1 and drops the appropriate packets onto VLAN 2 if your watchguard can do it.<br />
Also worth considering the device doing the multicasting. its often easier to add another nic onto VLAN2 so it can multicast freely without having to go via the router.

I am trying to pass multicast traffic between 2 VLANs that are connected by a Watchguard firewall.  No matter what I do, I cannot see and multicast traffic on the "traffic monitor;" on the Watchguard.  I am using a Cisco 2960 with IGMP turned on.  I can stream to everyone in the same VLAN , just not to second VLAN (via watchguard).   Any ideas?

Watchguard Firewall and Multicast

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
