A quick Qs on Multicast

Hey group,
              I have a task which asks me to filter a switch from receiving
traffic for administratively scoped multicast groups regardless of any IGMP
join messages it receives.

The scenario is :

R4---Fa0/0------Fa0/15---------SW1

My Solution was:
R4#sh run int fa0/0
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 146 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet0/0
 ip address 178.1.38.3 255.255.255.0
 ip pim sparse-dense-mode
 ip igmp access-group 11
 duplex auto
 speed auto
end

R4#

R4#sh run | sec access-list 11
access-list 11 deny 239.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 11 permit 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255
R4#

The Solution Script says:

R4:
interface Ethernet0/0
ip multicast boundary 51
!
access-list 51 deny 239.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
access-list 51 permit 224.0.0.0 15.255.255.255

Can someone explain the difference?

Thanks /Pradeep
