I was also under the impression that you could control advertisements to AP locations like buildings, floors and rooms. So you could ensure only users in Building A could see devices like Apple TV's in building A.
We are also holding off on 7.5 at this stage. While we are keen to use some of the new features, we still only have a handful on Apple TV's (under 5 that we know of) and workaround solutions are doing the job there. We have been working with TAC to iron out a few issues with Prime, and at least for our case the recommendation was to only upgrade to PI 1.4 and Controller 7.5 if the 7.5 features were required on our network. So while 7.5 is of interest, we don't quite have the business driver that makes it a must. Getting Prime up to scratch is more important to us at this stage, and hopefully 2.0 will provide that. Though I can' t say I'm filled with confidence. It's a shame really, we have had plenty of issues with WCS/NCS/Prime for management. Very little to complain about for the controllers and APs though....... having said that we see one weirdness which I'll post separately soon. -- Jason Cook Technology Services The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 Ph : +61 8 8313 4800 -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dennis Xu Sent: Wednesday, 14 August 2013 3:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco 7.5.102.0 and AppleTVs I think the major mdns enhancement on 7.5 is that AP can forward mdns advertisements from wired side to controller. So wireless client can see Apple TV on wired as long as it is on the same vlan with the AP. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn75.html#wp784178 "In Release 7.4, the controller could learn the mDNS services that are visible only on the network. In this release, the mDNS AP feature allows the controller to have visibility of wired service providers, which are on VLANs that are not visible to the controller. You can configure any AP as an mDNS AP to allow the AP to forward mDNS packets to the controller. VLAN visibility at the controller is achieved by APs that forward the mDNS advertisements to the controller. The mDNS packets between the AP and the controller are forwarded through a CAPWAP data tunnel that is similar to mDNS packets from a wireless client. Only CAPWAP v4 tunnels are supported. APs can be in either access port or the trunk port to learn the mDNS packets from the wired side and forward them to the controller."

Has something changed? I've got mDNS working in 7.4...
