Hi everyone,
I saw that Mtik APs were the only in my house where devices weren’t getting auto-discover services properly.
A few sniffers later, I think the issue is that MDNS packets are forwarded to the other ports on the bridge, but not Wifi itself ( from where the original packet came from)
Other Wifi devices in the same AP appear not to get these multicasts.
Am I correct to assume this from this sniff capture?
Is there a way to make these to be broadcast again to Wifi ?
Set the multicast-helper parameter of the wireless interface to full.
That makes sense.
Yet, I tried to apply that to the AP, but CapsMan doesn’t seem to apply that setting to the client..
I applied it both in CAP Interface and Configurations.
Client AP after being reconfigured, still keeps “Multicast Helper: Default”, and of course does not allow me to change manually because “Interface managed by CapsMan”.
This seems now a caps issue and not a multicast.
Although, could you give me a hint on what could be wrong?
Try setting caps-man interface set “interface name” configuration.multicast-helper=full, at least on my test machine it makes put [caps-man actual-interface-configuration get “2.visitors.iva” configuration.multicast-helper] show full whereas if I changed it only in the respective /capsman configuration row, the output was empty. Whether it actually works or not is another question.
If it doesn’t, try to set client-to-client-forwarding on datapath to yes, but I’m not sure it will address the issue.
Client still stays like that. It appears multicast option is not being applied…
Sniffer shows packets not being sent back through wlan again.
Edit: Client forwarding solved my issue by the way!
Thanks a lot!
