Cisco 2112 Wireless LAN Controller and Apple TV Airplay

fartbox007 — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 03:50:01 GMT

Hi All,

I am having a trouble with using iTunes, iPhones and iPads on our Wireless LAN. We have the 2112 WLC and 10 1142N WAPs. If I do a network scan, I can see the Apple TV and see that port 5353 is open, which is Apple's Bonjour service. However, if I try to play music/video in iTunes, or on an iPhone/iPad, I do not see the Airplay icon. If I plug into the LAN, the Airplay icon appears immediately. I have created an allow all rule in the ACL but still no dice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx

Benmar

Hello "Fart Box",

There are a few dependecnys for these devices to work. First all the devices MUST be on the same SUBNET. Secondly, multicast needs to be enabled.

Are both of these comments correct on your network today ?

Hello George,

Sorry for my sophomoric name. I didn't realize I had made it that.

Anyhow, yes.. the IP of the Apple TV is 192.168.200.133 and the iPhone is 192.168.200.50

I believe I have enabled Multi-cast in Controller > Multicast > Global Multicast Mode

Thank you for your help.

So you enabled IGMP snooping. Under controller, you have multicast enabled and a multicast address too?

George, you are a genius sir. Setting the multicast address to 239.0.0.0 made the Airplay icon appear immediately.

Thank you so much for your help.

I tried to configure this on a 2106. But have no luck.

Any advice?

Have you configured your wired side for multicast ? Also all your apple devices need to be in the same subnet ..

Hi George,

I've activated Multicast and IGMP Snooping in Controller->Multicast.

The Multicast Group Adress in Controller->General is 224.0.0.251

The Web-Interface on my 2106 differs in many things compared to the Howto mentioned in Vinay Sharma's Post.

It's hard to verify that you have configured everything. Can you post your config and tell us what WLAN SSID these devices are on.

Thanks,

Hi Scott,

maybe the mistake is, that our Computers are in 255.255.255.0 and the Multicast Group Adress is

224.0.0.251 ?

Do I have to change everything?

That shouldn't matter multicast address is going to be different from what your clients use... as long as on the siwtch side, you configure ip multicast-routing and ip pim sparse-dense-mode (or sparse or just dense) you should be fine. Here is another link that might help you from a member. I have it working at a couple clients now and at my lab. I just made sure to enable global multicast on the wlc.

Hi there. I have a similar problem.

in controller, general AP Multicast mode i have set to multicast and 239.0.0.0

in controller multicast i have enabled globle multicast mode and igmp snooping

IP of Apple TV 192.168.55.151

IP of iPhone 4S 192.168.55.14

When i use Lan scan on my iPhone i can see the Apple TV but no bonjour services found.

Quick port scan shows ports 49152 and 62078 open on the apple tv.

Airplay is enabled on the Apple TV and the iPhone works on a different wireless network to a different Apple TV.

The wired network is a single nonrouter VLAN in a cisco 3750, but cant see the bonjour even if the apple TV is also wireless.

Any thouhgts? Thanks in advance.

You enable multicast on your switch?

Ah, interesting. The 3750 doesn't do any routing for this VLAN, so i haven't assigned it an IP address.

Didn't think i would have to enable multicast for it.

Is it possible to enable multicast purely on one vlan on a 3750?

The other vlans are doing routing and i don't really want multicast on them.

Thanks

Scott Fella — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 13:32:07 GMT

Well you need to enable multicast routing on the layer 3 and then you can define the vlan interface and set that to

ip pim sparse-dense-mode or ip pim sparse-mode but then you will have to specify an RP.
