Wireless Airgroup Servers not visible on Wired port

  • 1.  Wireless Airgroup Servers not visible on Wired port

    Posted Apr 28, 2021 08:07 AM

    Hello everyone.

    I'm Running a VirtualCluster of two IAP-315's and a SSID with ARP broadcast filtering enabled to limit broad & multicast.
    I have Airgroup Activated to allow mDNS service discovery (like Airplay, Chromecast and a few other services).

    The Airgroup feature works fine in one direction:
    - Wireless clients can see Wireless Airplay & Chromecast Servers
    - Wireless clients can see Wired Homekit, Chromecast & Airprint servers

    BUT:

    Wired clients cannot see the Wireless Chromecast & Airplay servers.

    I can tell from CLI that the Airgroup server have learned about all the relevant Wired and Wireless servers. But it seems the Airgroup Server does not reply to discovery requests originating from Wired Clients. 
    In practise that means Wired clients can only find other Wired servers (by actual mDNS), but they cannot see any Wireless servers because Airgroup does not advertise them on the wired interface.

    Any way to enable that feature as Airgroup is otherwise of fairly limited value.
