The following figure illustrates DLNA UPnP Services and AirGroup Architecture. Figure 74 DLNA UPnP Services and AirGroup Architecture For a list of supported DLNA services, see AirGroup Services on page 283. AirGroup Features AirGroup supports the following features: l Sends unicast responses to mDNS or DLNA queries and reduces the traffic footprint. l Ensures cross-VLAN visibility and availability of AirGroup devices and services. l Allows or blocks AirGroup services for all users. l Allows or blocks AirGroup services based on user roles. l Allows or blocks AirGroup services based on VLANs. l Matches devices to their closest services such as printers. AirGroup also enables context awareness for services across the network: l AirGroup is aware of personal and shared devices. For example, an Apple TV in a dorm room can be associated with the student who owns it or an Apple TV in a meeting room or a printer in a supply room that is available to certain users, such as the marketing department. l AirGroup is aware of the location of services when ClearPass Policy Manager support is enabled. For example, depending on the proximity, a user would be presented with the closest printer instead of all the printers in the building. l When configured, AirGroup enables a client to perform a location-based discovery. For example, when a client roams from one Instant cluster to another, it can discover devices available in the new cluster to which the client is currently connected. 282 | Services Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
