Mr. Palmer: I am so, so sorry. You are about to find out the pains of shoehorning Apple technology in to the enterprise.
My personal dislike for all things Apple goes very deep, but that aside, can I ask why the decision was made to go with Apple TVs? Was it for AirPlay? We use some programs here on our campus that enable us to stream to/from IOS devices and it works. If I may give you a word of warning; I spent many, many man hours making AirPlay and other Apple technologies work on our network. Instructors were clamoring for the ability to use thier iPads in class. In less than a semester all but 2-3 instructors stopped using it. Now if a single prof uses it a week I would be surprised. It was a lot of work that required me to do some unholy things to my network that I still feel guilty about, all to make a few people able to use their shiny new toy. Short version: VERY carefully evaluate the business decision of using Apple in the enterprise, in my 10+ years of experience it is almost always a matter of personal preference and/or a status symbol thing. Regardless, I hope your implementation goes well. Good luck.

It typically doesn't work well with IGMP and other multicast helpers. It was never designed for it. Otherwise... The feature you are looking for would be part of roles in packet fence. I don't know if the aruba allows ACLs to be assigned via RADIUS or not though.

We're looking at rolling out Apple Tvs next year in many classrooms, and will therefor need to control that nasty mDNS/Bonjour traffic. We're looking for high granularity, more than just an mDNS reflector – the ability to basically specify that no user will see an AppleTV that's not near the AP they are connected to. As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is with Aruba's Clearpass policy manager system, which costs a bit, and will mean moving off of our happy Packetfence system. The Challenge: Has any one even done any serious thinking about how to accomplish this with Packetfence? Is there any chance it's even possible?
