Hi All ,

I have a Cisco AP model C9120AXI-E with embedded wireless controller v17.3.1 .

Does anyone know how I can enable multicast on cisco embedded wireless controller or is there any way to enable it?

Thanks for any help

I think its similar to 9800 series WLC:

Navigate to: Configuration > Services > Multicast

can you try from CLI, using this command:

AP(config)# wireless multicast

All the EWC AP's are in Flex mode, so you need to enable multicast routing at your switch level or upstream devices (Client is bridged to the AP).

I don't think that EWC fully supports multicast on 17.3.

I found this here for Apple Bonjour: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/ewc/17-3/config-guide/ewc_cg_17_3/m_local_area_bonjour_ewc_ap_mode.html

Yeah I'm pretty sure that EWC doesn't support the full multicast stack yet. There might be some undocumented features in the CLI, but I think only the stuff in my previously linked document is available.

According to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/feature-matrix/ap-feature-matrix.html#_Toc87523896 EWC and WLC should have multicast feature parity for flexconnect so if it's not working it's a bug and you'll need a TAC case.

Regarding the GUI - make sure you login as admin - I've seen some menu's disappear when not using the admin user even though the user should have all/max priv (I think it's a bug but haven't bothered to look into it any deeper).

Thank you for your search,

I am logged in as admin but I can't find the multicast option under service and in the CLI the the known commands don't work.
