It works on a request basis. When "servers" advertise services, they get put in a central table. When a client request the service the lookup is done on that table. So airgroup does not cross subnets, it just needs to "see" each subnet so that is can respond to clients and add servers to the table. The question is which part does not work? for chromecast. 1. It does not work with 802.1x so can you properly configure it and get it on the network 2. Does the service get added to the table for the controller it is connected to 3. does the client properly request it and get a answer 4. Can the client actually route to and communicate with the server (this has nothing to do with airgroup) I would start the test with everything on the same controller and same ssid. Then try moving the client to a different ssid. We have successfully used airgroup for chromecast across subnets on the same controller. I have had hit and miss luck with different controllers. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
