How to enable/configure multicast?

Hi,

I have the following setup:

  • Sophos XG 85 Firewall (Wifi)
  • DMZ Zone (VLAN 2 on Port 1)(10.0.1.0/24)
  • Wifi Zone (10.0.2.0/24)

I have the following devices:

  • Raspberry Pi as Home Assistant Host (Smart Home) in the DMZ zone
  • Xiaomi Smart Home Gateway in the WIFI zone (To talk to some humidity and temperature sensors)

The Problem:

The Raspberry Pi and the Xiaomi Device need to be able to talk to each other via multicast. I have looked at a packet capture and the Xiaomi Gateway is sending heartbeats like this: Destination 224.0.0.50, Protocol UDP

What changes to the firewall do I need to make? I already tried Multicast Forwarding to no avail. Since I never had to work with multicast I am a little bit lost.

Thank you in advance.

Chris

  • Hi,

    I did that. It didn't help. I set the xiaomi device as the source. But I've noticed that in the packet capture it says:

    Destination 224.0.0.50, Type UDP, Ports 4321,9898 Rule 0, Status Violation, Reason Local_ACL.

    Now my question: Do I need to create an additional firewall rule?

    Thanks
