Multicast routing in ROS 6.11

[mpreissner]

I need to enable multicast routing, specifically mDNS, to allow clients on my wireless VLAN to Airplay to AppleTV’s on my media VLAN. I know the Bonjour service uses multicast address 224.0.0.251 on udp port 5353 with a TTL of 1, essentially making it non-routable without some type of repeater. I know older versions of RouterOS could obtain a multicast package, but I’m not seeing an option for that in 6.11. Is there some way to achieve multicast routing on the current release?

I’m thinking a mangle rule to increase the TTL on the mDNS query would allow it to be routed, but I still need some way to actually forward the query and the response across subnets. Any help is appreciated!

You can install multicast packages, is inside all packages zip file.

Read this fot one guide.
