What you are experiencing is epected behavior on the Catalyst 2924 XL
switch. It is only a layer 2 switch and in essence, turns the
multicast into a broadcast, it has no way of telling which hosts
subscribe to the multicast and which don't to filter traffic. CGMP
from what I remember only forwards information to a multicast router
to help it determine where to send multicast traffic. Some of the
2950s do IGMP snooping which may help your situation, but the XLs do
not do anything like that.
Good Luck
