Multicast issues (GS724TPv2)

Hi,

 

I'm having some problems using Multicast through my GS724 switch. When I boot my PC(s), they can send and receive Multicast packets without an issue, however this only lasts a few hours before I get constant errors. I can fix this by rebooting the PCs. I don't have the same issues when I use a different (Ubiquiti) switch.

 

In order to get Multicasting to work in the first place, I had to disable IGMP Snooping.

I've read on this forum that Storm Control might be causing an issue - however Storm control is (and always has been) disabled:

The error that comes up implies that sending Multicast packets is the issue, not receiving them but I'm not 100% sure on this.

 

Thanks in advance
