Hi,
I have an IAP-104 in use with firmware 6.2.0.0-3.2.0.2_37229 and I have a question about the AirGroup feature.
The IAP is configured with two SSID's (one Guest and one Employee).
The Employee SSID is on 2.4GHz and 5GHz (Band steering: prefer 5GHz) and the Guest SSID is only on the 2.4GHz band.
The IAP is not configured in a separate VLAN, it is part of the complete network with wired attached devices like an AirPrint capable printer and also an AppleTv.
On both SSID's I have configured the following:
Broadcast filtering = ARP
DTIM interval = 1 beacon
Multicast transmission optimization = Enabled
Dynamic multicast optimization = Enabled
DMO channel utilization threshold = 90%
When the AirGroup feature is tuned off then AirPrint and AirPlay is working fine via the wireless network.
When I enable the AirGroup feature (with enabled AirPrint and AirPlay options) then AirPrint and AirPlay is not working anymore.
Does this make sense?
I thought that the enabled Broadcast filtering and Multicast optimizations would kill the Bonjour and AirPlay functionality via Wifi and that the AirGroup feature was introduced to overcome these limitations?
Kind regards,
Rene.
