Sophos UTM9 dropping all-systems.mcast.net

Hi

I am receiving lots of these every day in the Network Protection / Packet Filter / Firewall log :

/var/log/packetfilter.log:2013:05:06-15:19:22 cable-static-xx-xx-x ulogd[4546]: id="2001" severity="info" sys="SecureNet" sub="packetfilter" name="Packet dropped" action="drop" fwrule="60001" initf="eth7" srcmac="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" dstmac="yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy" srcip="192.168.100.***" dstip="224.0.0.1" proto="2" length="36" tos="0x00" prec="0x00" ttl="1"

The srcip is a wireless router in our network. Why is the UTM dropping these packets ? What can I do to stop it ?

Thanks in advance
Freddie

This is Multicast-Traffic. Simplest way would be a rule allowing this traffic from the Router.

There might be an UPNP/AV server or similar running on the router causing this kind of traffic. It is nothing to worry about.
