Hi guys,
Long time reader, first time poster.. I'm after some advice.
I'm failing dismally trying to configure a 2106 Wlc to allow apple device (iPhone, iPads) to stream AirPlay to an apple tv 2.
Now, I have this working perfectly with a 5508 WLC.
I understand that the apple devices all need to be on the same subnet (they are), that multicast needs to be enabled, and I've tried a variety of multicast addresses as mentioned in many posts.. Also the wired infrastructure is not the problem (as connecting net gear access points into the same wired infrastructure works fine).
I've also read posts where some people say the 2100series doesn't support AirPlay/bonjour/mDns and others saying they have had it work.
But I can't find a definitive answer.
Can anyone confirm or deny which WLC support AirPlay, as if I need to switch I want to make sure they do.
The 5508 works fine.
Anybody able to shed some wisdom?
Thanks Wayne.

I have a 2106 in the lab and it works fine. Here are a few screen shots and a link that may help..

It shouldn't matter what wlc. I have a 2106 at home working fine and I have deployed it on a 2504 and 5508. Now the code I have running when I tried it on the 2106 is 7.0.230.0 but that shouldn't matter. It's how multicast is setup on the network side that varies the multicast configuration a bit.
Thanks,

Any chance you would happen to remember the multicast config? I feel as though I've tried everything and feel as though ive got the 2106 configured in its most basic configuration.
So that's a definite confirmation of the 2106 running AirPlay?
Thanks for speedy reply

Yeah the 2106 works. Their is a document on one of the wireless forums I can try to find.
Thanks,

On my 2106 at home here all I did was enable broadcast forwarding and setup a multicast address for the controller to use.

Thanks everyone, your responses helped me greatly.
Had to upgrade firmware. (confirmed working on 7.0.230.0) was originally on on 5.1.150.0 which failed dismally.
Now works great. Very happy

Hi there, you mentioned you go this working on your 5508 controller. I'm trying a 4400 WLC (WiSM) and I have followed all the Cisco articles and I can only get it working using unicast, not multicast so I thought you may be able to offer some insights?
Thanks

I'll take some screenshots of the 5508 settings at work tomorrow for you. (can't remember exactly what I had to do).
My biggest problem with the 2106 was not having the latest firmware.
Cheers
Wayne.

Thanks for the quick response and I look forward to the screenshots. I'm currently running 7.0.230.0 on the controller which is the latest software I believe.
I'm hoping it's something I've missed. Thanks again.

What do you have connected on interface FastEthernet 0/0.50 ?
An AP?
Is multicast configured global on 2621?
Thanks is advance
