M4300 8X8F Setup as IGMP Querier, need to drop packets from another switch sending IGMP Query Packet

Hi

 

I'm currently testing a M4300 8X8F and have three items connected to it. A laptop, a PC and another switch which is part of an external system i have no control over. The M4300 8X8F is setup as the IGMP querier and for periods of time, our laptop connects to multicast streams from the PC and from an external PC connected to the other switch.

 

The other switch has IGMP Querier disabled but i'm still getting occasional IGMP Query messages which is causing dropouts in our Multicast. The IGMP Query coming from the other switch has a source of 0.0.0.0 and a Destination address of 224.0.01. I've had alook through the ACL functionality of the M4300 8X8F and can block from 0.0.0.0 IP address which is not possible as valid data is coming accross.

 

Im looking for a way to get the M4300 8X8F to drop any IGMP Query packets it see's and only forward the IGMP Query packets it generates. Is this possible?
