    We are using Aruba 105's in a school enviroment. We have a flat network no VLANs. We are using roles to restrict where a student can get on our network when they are using a device they brought from home. Currently they are allowed Http and Https. The Apple TV is hardwired into our network again Flat Network. Problem is we need the students to be able to connect to the apple tv from their iPads. I have opened every port I can find related to apple Bonjour service and the best I get is a connection that lasts aprox 30 sec.

     

    If someone can point me in the right direction for how to setup to restrict my students by still have apple work it would be very much appreciated.

     

    Oh I am running firmware 6.2.0.0-3.2.0.1_36989

     

    Thanks In advance

    Then in an effort to get Aple TV working I have opened

     

    TCP 123, TCP 3689, UDP 5353, TCP 7000, TCP 7001

    You might want to send a quick email to Apple to make sure you are not missing something like ipV6

    I emailed apple and this was the response. I wasn't impressed.

     

    "AirPrint and Apple TV use the Bonjour protocol to communicate. Its not port based. This may help"

     

    They referred me to an Aruba document on AirGroup..

     

    Thanks for your responses in the mean time.

    I found another port in a AirPlay Protocol Document Port 49152. This appears to be the key

     

    Ports I have open now are

     

    TCP 49152

    TCP 7000

    TCP 123

    TCP 3689

    TCP 80

    TCP 443

    TCP 53

     

    UDP 5353

     

    Will update when I has been put to test. :)
