multicast?



hi all,

oldnews:/home/marcadrian# ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:21:C9:94:8D
          inet addr:203.63.219.1  Bcast:203.63.219.127  Mask:255.255.255.128
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

oldnews:/home/marcadrian# ifconfig eth0 -allmulti up
oldnews:/home/marcadrian# ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:21:C9:94:8D
          inet addr:203.63.219.1  Bcast:203.63.219.127  Mask:255.255.255.128
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

shouldnt the MULTICAST part dissapear if ive specified no multicast? i want
to rid my network of multicast because im sure someone is flooding it with
multicast traffic, so if i can disable multicast on this interface i can rid
myself of the problem ;-)

can anyone help?
