Hi,
I've struggled for some time now getting a Chromecast working over a controller-based wlan. It works perfectly over an autonomous AP, but not over the WLC. I see from several howto's and other posts people have actually gotten this to work, but after trying several different configurations to no avail, it seems I must seek help from the community after all.
The goal is to get this working in a production environment with 5508's, but I've set up a lab now to hopefully crack this once and for all.
This is the howto I followed last (without success):
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/7-6/chromecastDG76/ChromecastDG76.html
Equipment:
1 x 2504 WLC with 7.6.130.0 software
1 x 2602 access point
1 x Chromecast
1 x iPhone with Chromecast-app (I've tested it with Android-device too, with no better result)
Current configuration:
- 1 ap group with one wlan
- Controller: Enabled Global Multicast Mode
- Controller: Enabled IGMP Snooping
- Controller: Broadcast forwarding: Enabled
- Controller: AP Multicast Mode : Multicast
- Controller: Multicast Group Address: 239.1.2.3
- Wlan: P2P Blocking Action: Disabled
Both iPhone and Chromecast are connected to the same wlan/ap and can ping each other, but discovering the Chromecast fails.
In Monitor>Multicast on Controller I have no entries under "Layer3 MGID(Multicast Group ID) Mapping" now.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this up and running?
Best regards
Bent
