Multicast WLC5508 version 7.6

[aevans]

Hi all,

I have recently upgraded my controllers from WLC 4404's to some 5508's. We had multicasting configured on the previous controllers for our IPTV solution. Now that we have upgraded to the new WLC's this has stopped working over the wireless. The controllers are configured the same as the old WLC's and the solution still works over the wired network so we know its an issue with the WLC's themselves. The majority of the AP's we have on site are 1242's.

Do I need to do something different to enable multicasting to work? I have been scratching my head for 2 day's now

Cheers

Anthony

The best place to start looking for clues is in the PIM and IGMP and IGMP snooping data available on your L2 switch and L3 Gateway.

Hi Anthony,

See whether below post helps you

Enable video stream feature if you want to have good quality multicast service over wireless. Since you have 1242 (not 802.11n capable) it may not give huge advantage, but still worth
