Apple, Airplay 2 configuration help

tesagig

Is there an article on how to configure the USG for apple/Airplay 2 services?

Whcih ports etc.

It's no need to set up anything if your AirPlay device and the host are in the same LAN subnet. (Because your rule
LAN_to_Device allows all ports between devices and the firewall)

I would start with:

Type	Protocol	Port
UDP	mDNS	5353
UDP	Airplay	7200 – 17210
TCP	Airplay	5000, 7000, 7100, 50000, 7200 – 17210

Allow that from ALL to ZyWall and vice versa and see what happens.

tesagig

much appreciated!

Just to clarify, I don't need to open ports to go outside (LAN to WAN). To make airplay work I only need internal traffic open? I do have already LAN1 to ZyWall fully open (any)

@tesagig May I know your airplay topology? do you want streaming airplay cross VLANs? we currently do not support this scenario, thanks

tesagig

no, just regular on local LAN

BTW. In general. what is the logic for opening ports between Zywall and LAN? If I don't have any rule for Zywall to LAN do I block something?

tesagig

Based on my other thread: can I simply accomplish this by flipping on "app patrol - airpaly"?

Hello,

I'm currently looking for a new solution for my home and had pretty much already decided to buy an AXE5400 with an XMG1915-10EP switch. But then I read about this Airplay limitation. I hear a lot of music but want to seperate all these sometimes pretty old and thus insecure speakers in an IoT VLAN so allowing Airplay and Spotify Connect between VLANs would be a must for me. May I ask if this feature been added in the meantime or is it on the roadmap for the very near future?

Thanks!

Hi @ths,

Thanks for asking. Could you share your topology and the purpose you want to set VLAN in your home?
