Ruckus Unleashed Multicast

By default Ruckus converts multicast traffic to unicast which can affect multicast traffic in a bad way. Devices like Yamaha MusicCast might not show up when using spotify connect. To fix multicast traffic on the Ruckus system, we need to tell Ruckus to stop doing the conversion. This guide will show you on how to do so.

First we need to find the IP address of the Ruckus unleashed master. For this we advise to use Advanced IP Scanner. Scan you network and look for the IP address of Ruckus. In my case it is 192.168.1.17. 

If you have more than one access point you will have to use Unleashed UI to check masters' IP address. Navigate to Access Point section, highlight master AP and click on "Show AP Info"

Next step is to download putty, you can get it here. Once installed, open Putty and select SSH as a connection type with port 22. Host name will be IP address of the master AP.

Log in using unleashed web ui credentials

Once logged type commands:

enable

config

Followed by wlan "your SSID name"
(the quotation marks are needed) for example wlan "Home-WiFi"

Then you need to type the commands: 

no qos directed-multicast

and 

If you did not get feedback of "The command was executed successfully" then you did something wrong in the previous steps. Check the commands and try again.

 

Type exit and exit to apply the settings and leave the session.
