Sophos, Logitech Media Server and SqueezeLite

TimBenkert

Hi guys,

 

I'm running Sophos UTM on a APU2C4 board with an inbuild Compex WLE600VX WLAN access point. My internal network is a bridge between the RJ45 connector at the APU board and the WLAN Access Point. The WLAN network is bridged into the AP LAN, which is the internal network. All further devices are connected to that internal Network.

On my Windows Server2012R2 the Logitech Media Server is installed. This is connected via a cable to the UTM. In my kitchen there is a Max2Play squeezelite player which is connected to the inbuild WLAN AccessPoint. 

From my Laptop I can reach web GUIs of Logitech Media Server and the Max2Play GUI of the player in the kitchen.

BUT: Player and Logitech Media Server don't find each other. This is usually done with autodiscovery, but it just doesn't work.

I tried firewall rules allowing all multicast adresses and all ports within the internal network. 

Any ideas how this issue could be solved? 

The UTM is doing only firewalling at the moment, no IPS, no webfiltering etc.

 

Regards

Tim

    Alright, got it working.

    First of all, I got rid of the bridge since it was causing trouble only. Now I have one network segment for LAN and one for WLAN. In both segements the UTM provides DHCP and DNS service. WINS is setup and all devices that are used regularly in the network have static mappings.

    The trick now was to get around the autodiscovery, which uses multicasting.

    What I did: In the Max2Play GUI under SqueezeLite->Advanced Options I added the start parameter -s <servername>. I tried that before but it didn't work. Reason was, that I put in -s <servername>:<port>. You have to leave out the portnumber and make sure, that the device Max2Play is running on can ping that servername. Than your are good to go.

     

    Multicast:

    My guess is, that the UTM cannot act as a Rendezvous Point. Since we have a subsription at work, I will open a support case and ask Sophos how to setup multicast the right way. Maybe autodiscovery is going to work than.
