How to make “no qos directed-multicast” persist across reboots?

[Zuul]

I’m running an R650 (Unleashed 200.9.10.4.233) with a number of wireless Sonos speakers on my network. I’ve applied the fix through the CLI to allow the Sonos controller to see the speakers:

enable

config

wlan MyWifiNetwork

no qos directed-multicast

end

end

Unleashed confirms the settings have been saved.

However whenever I reboot my AP, I have to reapply the fix or my speakers remain unavailable.

How can I make this change persist across reboots?

After additional troubleshooting, I've determined that this setting does get saved but does not seem to be applied after the AP restarts so this looks to be a bug to me. I was able to reproduce this with 200.9.10.4.212 as well.

To test this, I ran the commands in the OP on my AP then immediately rebooted it. About 10 minutes after the AP came back up, I was still unable to see my Sonos speakers or my AirPrint printer (both of which use multicast AFAIK).

So I sshed into the AP and got info on my AP:

ruckus(config-wlan)# exit

Exit ruckus CLI.

So, directed-multicast is marked as disabled.

However, upon exiting (saving changes) with no changes made, I was able to see my AirPrint printer and Sonos speakers within a few seconds.

By simply re-saving the AP configuration with no changes, I was able to get everything working again so this sounds like a bug to me. Should I report this or am I missing something?

Hi Derek,

Refer below KBA and see if that helps. If not, feel free to open a case with support and report the issue.

Hi Syamantak,

I can't view that article but I can confirm that the issue I reported persists. It seems that simply re-saving the WLAN at the CLI is required to get multicast working properly following a reboot.

Thanks.

Hi Derek,

I just tried accessing the link again and its working for me.

Are you getting any error?
