Multicast

Multicast support is enabled in the Cisco 8500 Controller, and its operation is comparable to that of the Cisco

5500 Series Controllers, but with these restrictions:

If all APs on the 8500 Controller are configured in Local mode, Multicast−Multicast will be the

default mode and all features are supported (for example, VideoStream). This scenario is identical to a

5500 Controller.

If the APs are configured as a mix of Local mode and FlexConnect mode:

♦

If IPv6 is required on the FlexConnect APs:

♦

IPv6/GARP is not required on FlexConnect APs:

Disable Global Multicast Mode and change to Multicast−Unicast mode.

IPv6/GARP will work on FlexConnect and Local mode APs, but Multicast data and

the VideoStream feature will be disabled.

Change the mode to Multicast−Multicast and Enable Global Multicast Mode and

IGMP/MLD snooping.

IPv6, GARP, Multicast Data, and VideoStream are supported on local mode APs.
