Cisco 5508 Multicast, chromecast not working

[Steve Coady]

Hello

I have globally enabled multicasting on my 5508 Controllers and cerated an SSID/Vlan just for Multicast.

What am I missing?

What else needs to be configured?

[Stephen Rodriguez · Accepted solution]

you also need to enable broadcast forwarding.

HTH,
Steve

Thankyou for the response.

1 other question. I have (2) 5508 controllers. I enabled multicast and gave the multicast group address  on one of the controller s as 239.255.255.1. What would the seconds controller multicast address be, .2?

[Stephen Rodriguez · Accepted solution]

.2 would work.  Peronally, I do 239. so that when I see it in a show ip mroute i know what it is.

HTH,
Steve

You mean 239.192.168.100 (where 100 is my wireless management subnet)

Also

I have read that igmp snooping should be disabled for my Wireless Multicast vlan. Have you any expertise on that?

I think steve means if your controller is 192.168.100.5 and 192.168.100.6 ..

Make your M/C 239.168.100.5 and 239.168.100.6 .

Makse sense?
