Wireless multicast over MPLS

Andreew — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 19:38:10 GMT

Hello I have problem with multicast communication over MPLS from WLC to remote client connected to Access Point.

I have WLC 5508 with software 8.0.121.0. and AP AIR-CAP3702E.

Customer buy audio system Audio pro A10. This system is control via wifi application. Control application use multicast. When I configure multicast on WLC, system is working on local network (HQ where is WLC stored), this work fine. Problem is I need control remote location, this location is connected via MPLS to HQ.

Is possible use multicast over MPLS?

Yes, MPLS can transport Multicast. But your provider has to support it.
