AOS10 + SONOS

  • 1.  AOS10 + SONOS

    Posted Nov 24, 2023 10:16 AM

    Hi

    A customer of ours are having problems with SONOS after switching to AOS10. 
    They do have a smaller setup of Instant AP's running AOS8 systems, and on this setup the SONOS has no problems.

    AOS10 systems consist of newer AP-6xx and Aruba CX (6100) switches, wireless system was running 10.4.x but has later been upgraded to 10.5.x.
    SONOS system is connected to cable on 6100 switches on an access port with some vlan.

    There is a SSID with the same vlan, broadcast filter is set to disabled. This is usually the one thing you need to adjust in a AOS8 IAP setup if you are unable to locate streaming devices of some sort.
    Client connected to the SSID is using SONOS APP to try to find the SONOS system to control playback etc.
    The phone/APP is not able to find the SONOS speakers.
    He has added most services he was able to find in documentation and on Airheads, without this solving the problem.

    I was wondering if anybody has had any success in adding SONOS to AOS10 systems and are able to control it by using a APP on the phone. 
    All feedback is welcome

    Sonos and other products like Chromecasts, Philips HUE use multicastDNS (mDNS) for discovery. You say your Sonos is wired in the same VLAN as your SSID which should be fine in my eyes. Disable broadcast filtering and multicast optimalisation. Maybe connect your Sonos also wireless to the same SSID without Wired.

    What is the user-role/acl that a wireless client get?

    Maybe you can share your CLI configuration?

    Hi

    Yes as i wrote, disabling broadcast filtering is the way to go, on AOS8. But this is AOS10 and there is no cluster in the same way as AOS8, all AP's are standalone and Central is the VC.
    MTO and DMO is adisabled as well.

    Customer wants the SONOS on cable, and i will not argue about this, as this should work without the need to use only wireless.
    What he actually tells me is that when he sets this up for the first time, the system is work, the APP is able to find the SONOS.
    After a time, not sure how long, but i suspect it's short, system just disappears and the phone are unable to locate SONOS.
    If he setup the system from the beginning again, without tampering with the wifi, it will work for a time again.

    He even has a phone to wired network cable and this is working without problems. It's when he is using the AOS10 wifi it will break.
    So if any has any experience with AOS10 and SONOS, please update

    The role which the client receives is all open, no restrictions on this. The discovery will happen on layer-2 anyway, so this should not be affected in that way.

    He has opened a TAC, but they take their time with it.

    Hi, 

    I do have several Sonos devices and controllers (both wired and wireless) and have used AOS 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 without issues. I do have broadcast filter disabled and also AirGroup disabled. wired and wireless are in the same VLAN.

    Hi John

    Great to hear a confirmation that the principle of the setup is working on AOS10. There should be no reason for this NOT working.
    Might of course be some differences related to different SONOS devices, but this is outside the Aruba sphere.

    He as added to much to the Airgroup system inside his Central, meaning that Airgroup has failed (not able to turn on), i have urged them to get this sorted by TAC.
    But broadcast filtering set to DISABLED should do the trick.

    I will rely this info to the guy having issues with this

    I don't have issues with chromecast and philips hue that also use mDNS multicast. Can you share your configuration in cli?

    Hi mkk

    I will ask them if thats ok. I guess you still talk about AOS10, because on AOS8 i know it works, and the customer also are able to make it work in AOS8.

    I my setup i run two AP-515(RW) in bridgemode Aruba Central / AOS10.5.0.1.

    If he is able to share his configuration in CLI we can take look on it.

    Hi

    Yes, after a bit of help from TAC, customer was able to solve the Airgroup problem. Too many servers was added and the Airgroup feature was unable to turn on/off. This has now been resolved.

    SONOS does not work yet, according to the customer, will at the current CLI output.
