Title: How to use multicast-routing to use Denon Heos speaker on vlan
Post by: Gandalf2434 on September 25, 2021, 10:01:40 PM
Hi there,

i have divided my network in several vlans. Its working well for typical usage, but I am running streaming speakers from Denon Heos which rely on multicast packets afaik. I don't get it how to set this up. Maybe someone can give me some hints, as I could not find much info.

I have speaker sitting in vlan70 and my smartphone which I need to control the speakers is in vlan 10. I already installed IGMP proxy, but I don't understand how to set it up?!

I the devices are conected by a cisco switch (small business 300), do I have to add there some settings too (igmp snooping)?

I'd really be happy if someone could give me some help.
Thanks

Well for the start I would be happy if I could use them with spotify (als spotify-connect speakers)

Hey there,
just in case someone else runs in the same situation. I could solve the problem.
I have the two VLANs "Lautsprecher" (10.10.70.0/24) where the Denon Heos speakers are connected and the VLAN "Trusted" (10.10.10.0/24) where the controlling device (smartphone) is connected.

I installed the plugin UDP Broadcast Relay and set it up, see attachment.
Then I created the following rules for the two devices Trusted and Lautsprecher (see attachments) where "DenonHesoSteuerer" is an alias for the networks that are allowed to controll the speakers (here 10.10.10.0/24).

Of course the devices have to be able to connect to the internet and the DNS. With this settings I have Denon Heos App and Spotify running.

Here is the information of Denon which ports have to be opened (to allow all functionality - I have just opened the minimum I found to use them, have to investigate in more depth):
