Audio-over-Ip on NETGEAR m4300 Switch mDNS & SAP
Looking for help, since apparently Netgear charges $100 just to talk to support for a switch I purchased less than 3 months ago.
Configuration is as follows:
m4300-96x switch stacked with two...
Hey,
So what I had to do to get IGMP working properly was configure things under the IP(routing)/Multicast settings. Make sure the global configuration is on, the IGMP global configuration is on, and configure your VLAN under interface settings. That should get IP based IGMP working for you.
Under "switching/multicast" is only L2 IGMP, which might be why you're having issues with Dante.
Can’t help with the mDNS, cause it’s not working yet. Popping and clicking sounds like a clocking issue, which is probably a QoS issue.
The only thing on these switches are a half dozen Dante devices ruinning a total of 10 chanels of audio. I have tried QoS both in the default configuration as well as Audante recomened settings.
I have spoken with Audante and they are convinced it is the switch. As soon as I use a non-smart 100Mb/s switch it all functions correctly. Long term I need to send this audio between buildings so the dumb switch is not a long term solution.
Any word on IGMPv3 support? I am also unable to get IGMPv2 to work successfully with Dante.
Thanks for the help!!!
- The IGMP v2/3 thing I can definitely help you with. It took my a bit to figure it out myself.
Just as a check, the two switches (primary and secondary) are not connected in any way right? If they are, that will definitely cause issues.
I’ll post some screenshots/config Info on how I got IGMP sorted, though if all you are connecting is dante devices you should be able to disable IGMP entirely and not have any issues.
