Bonjour Traffic \ AirPlay

[Tony_Chila]

We are setting up Apple TV’s in a classroom environment to allow faculty to connect via wireless using Airplay Mirroring and project their screen. In general, I'm interested in how others are handling Bonjour traffic on a routed network and\or how network admins are handling this type solution in a bridged at controller environment.

Tony/Charlie, Here is a link that explains how Enterasys handles Bonjour. I'm willing to contact you directly to discuss your options based on the equipment you currently have installed. http://pages.enterasys.com/AppleBonjourTrafficManagement_lp.html Regards, Doug Hyde Sr Support Engineer Enterasys Networks

We have setup use of Apple TV via iPads using Airplay in our business conference rooms. We were unable to get this to work in a routed environment do to the mDNS being used. It does work fine if the two devices are on the same L2 subnet. Bridged at the controller should work fine if it all comes back to a single VLAN. It seems I heard that a future relese of firmware for the HiPath wireless system will enable this to work on routed networks, but cannot confirm or deny that statement. We also implemented policies, enforced at the access points, to control access to/from the Apple TV and iPads. Be happy to share details if interested.
