Is Proximity Based AirGroup possible on Instant OS 8.10

    Hello,

    I'm looking to limit the number of AIrPlay devices presented to end users on the network. I've been looking through the user guide for Instant OS an it mentions:

    "AirGroup is aware of the location of services when ClearPass Policy Manager support is enabled. For example, depending on the proximity, a user would be presented with the closest printer instead of all the printers in the building."

    https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Aruba-Instant-8.x-Books/810/Aruba-Instant-8.10.0.0-User-Guide.pdf

    This sounds like what Controllers can do which is mentioned here: Auto-Association and AirGroup Policy

    How can i enabled this? It's not really explained what changes need to be performed in ClearPass or the IAP other that enabling ClearPass in AirGroup on the IAP cluster.

    This is a large school and teachers move their DLNA/mDNS devices around with them between classrooms. I'd like a teacher in a classroom to only be presented with the devices which are connected to the same AP as they are, or perhaps the neighbour devices, instead of all Airgroup devices across the entire campus. 

    By enabling ClearPass under the Airgroup menu will this happen automatically, or do i need to configure some additional settings to enforce a policy like this? 

    Thanks,
