IAP Multicast Issue

  • 1.  IAP Multicast Issue

    Posted Mar 29, 2016 02:35 PM

    I have devices wire into the same POE switch that my IAP's are connected to, and there is only 1 (the default) VLAN. I can't discover wired devices through multicast using wireless clients. Wired devices can discover just fine, but the IAP isn't passing the multicast.

     

    Network Info:

    DHCP is network assigned.

    Default VLAN, I also tried static 1

    Under the services tab, all services are selected to be enabled (bonjour, dlna, etc)

     

    If there's any more relevant info that I'm missing please let me know. Maybe it's just a side note, but I know that when I manage IAP's from Aruba central there's an option for multicast optimization, but I'm using the Instant UI not central.

     

    Thank you.

    What multicast method are you using to discover devices? You may have to mess with some of the AppRF/AirPlay stuff for i-device discovery.

     

    Under each SSID there are fields to fiddle with broadcast and multicast operation - I'd start there:

    Try turning off filtering and optimization - then tuning for performace without breaking any needed 'casting.

    I don't know how I missed this. I think I was over complicating it.

     

    Disabling broadcast filtering solved my problem.

    Thank you for your quick response.

    This work to me: "Try turning off filtering and optimization - then tuning for performace without breaking any needed 'casting."
