Thanks to all who have commented. Great info. Certain toys are popping up all over my network, presenting great new "opportunities" for creative networking. I was wanting to avoid multicasting, but comments here have tempered those concerns some. I'll venture forward knowing I'm in good company.
Thanks again. ---------- | LIKE | (for certain comments shared during this discussion) ---------- Scott Powell Director, IT Infrastructure & Support Wittenberg University 937-525-3821 937-327-7372 fax www.wittenberg.edu -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lee H Badman Sent: Monday, October 10, 2011 6:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] KeyNote Remote on Cisco LWAPP Or you could ask your Apple rep to remind the mothership that their toys occasionally find their ways to real networks...

Generally, APs in the same building should reside on the same controller. This would allow the devices to discover each other via MDNS port 5353. Once the discovery takes place all other traffic is unicast TCP.

You get or force , if possible, both devices on the same vlan/network broadcast domain. 2. Setup an adhoc network for the task.

It works fine on a test Netgear wireless router I have for testing. However it does not work on any of the WLANs I have configured for campus use. Doing a little research, it appears that this application requires multicast to be enabled? I currently do not have multicast enabled. Does anyone have experience with this? Any solutions that don't require enabling multicast? Thank you.
