Personally, I think you're heading in the wrong direction. If you're
getting unexpected traffic on your network you need to install an analyzer
or packet sniffer and find out where it's coming from rather than trying to
block it. You may have a rogue (unauthorized) or renegade (badly configured
or reset to default conditions) device out there handing out DHCP leases and
generating traffic.
You can't "turn off" multicast - whatever device is sending the mcast
packets is the one you need to find and strangle. You don't want to anyway,
since DHCP itself uses multicast to look for a DHCP server and get a lease
offer.
