Enabling multicast for a Sonos environment

[eric_bullock]

I am having trouble with a ZoneFlex R510 in standalone mode, and integrating Sonos. In a nutshell, I can't get the Sonos hardware to join the 2.4Ghz network. Here is a relevant discussion on the Sonos forums. I spent hours troubleshooting this last weekend. When I put my old WAP in place everything worked fine. Re-introduce the Ruckus equipment and it falls apart again. It sounds like I need to try enabling multicast traffic?

Is this an option in the Web GUI or a CLI only thing? I started looking into this last night and did not find any clear steps. The AP is running v200.6.10.1.308 software.

Your welcome. I spent 4 days on this until I figured it out.

Yep it works that way and on a zd. But it won’t work from the zd GUI controller. You still have to go to the AP and use the commands.

[eric_bullock]

Yep. These were issued while SSH'd into the AP.

Yep that’s why it works. How did it go on flashing back to unleashed?

Hi Eric
Just propped up a t300  Firmware: 200.6.10.1.312
It worked for me with these settings

Turn off all scanning and load balancing (make your AP as dumb as Sonos)

Set neighbor list report on the radio control setting in the WLAN Radio Resource Management: Enable 802.11k Neighbor-list Report

Make sure that there is only channel 1 available to Sonos

and lastly 802.11d:Support for 802.11d (only applies to radios configured to operate in 2.4 GHz band)

I am listening now..... Lol
