Ipv6 multicast allowed
-
I am allowing the entire ipv6 multicast space on my LAN (ff00::/8), but I'm seeing something in my FW logs which is weird, im seeing
:: to ff02::2…
What does the :: specify since im allowing all ipv6 multicast traffic on my LAN?
-Thanks

This is the log from the FW
LAN Default deny rule IPv6 (1000000105) [::] [ff02::2] ICMPv6
I'm allowing everything through to any of the multicast addresses, UDP and TCP.
I don't see a default deny rule though, am I missing something?

I fixed it. I had to create an any/any rule on the LAN for icmpv6 traffic. There's actually an ICMPv6 protocol choice when your making a new rule for this specific thing. Once I did that those logs stopped showing up. Very little is using the rule, it's all been Link-Local addresses so far.
