Apple Bonjour on Controllers

  • 1.  Apple Bonjour on Controllers

    Posted Aug 27, 2014 11:40 AM

    Some of my teachers use Apple Remote app on iPads to remotly control iTunes on their computers. Their setup works at home but will not work on my Aruba network. The app uses Bonjour. Can someone tell me if their is a setting that may limit or control Bonjour on smart phones, iPads, or all devices that may negatively impact the app? I know it's a chatty protocol and it seems that I had heard of a particular setting to keep broadcast intensive protocols under control. We use 7200s, 3600s, 3400s, and 3200s all on 6.3.1.4

     

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You would want to use Aruba's AirGroup feature that overcomes the limitations of mDNS.
