Maestro Madness
While working on a issue I noticed this on a wireshark packet capture on my Nexus 9000 switch is connected to a 15400 XL running Gaia 80.33 (whatever the current version is). There are two 15400 XL in one DC1 and 2 in DC2. The 4 are all clustered together for the VSS. The 192.168.xxx.xx is checkpoint's "internal switch" address. My question is should I be seeing these messages sent to the switchport that is connected to the firewall? The port that is connected to the firewall from the Nexus is for multicast traffic. I did a packet capture in our QA environment which is a mirror of our production with the exception of there are only 2 15400 XL and I don't see these messages below. Is this a mis- configuration of the Firewall High Availability being sent to the Nexus connecting port?

I want to thank you for the responses. My question was is not if its unicast or multicast. It was if what I pasted in the original posting is what should be occuring on connected interfaces to the firewall. As I stated I do not see that in our QA environment with the same code and chassis.
