Figure 76 AirGroup in a Higher-Education Environment
When AirGroup discovers a new device, it interacts with CPPM to obtain the shared attributes such as shared
location and role. However, the current versions of W-IAPs do not support the enforcement of shared
location policy.
AirGroup Services
AirGroup supports zero configuration services. The services are pre-configured and are available as part of the
factory default configuration. The administrator can also enable or disable any or all services by using the
Instant UI or CLI.
The following services are available for W-IAP clients:
l AirPlay™— Apple® AirPlay allows wireless streaming of music, video, and slideshows from your iOS device to
Apple TV® and other devices that support the AirPlay feature.
l AirPrint™— Apple AirPrint allows you to print from an iPad®, iPhone®, or iPod® Touch directly to any
AirPrint compatible printers.
l iTunes—The iTunes service is used by iTunes Wi-Fi sync and iTunes home-sharing applications across all
Apple devices.
l RemoteMgmt—The RemoteMgmt service allows remote login, remote management, and FTP utilities on
Apple devices.
l Sharing— The Sharing service allows applications such as disk sharing and file sharing among Apple devices.
l Chat— The iChat® (Instant Messenger) application on Apple devices uses this service.
l ChromeCast—ChromeCast service allows you to use a ChromeCast device to play audio or video content on
a high definition television by streaming content through Wi-Fi from the Internet or local network.
l DLNAMedia—Applications such as Windows Media Player use this service to browse and play media
content on a remote device.
l DLNAPrint—This service is used by printers that support DLNA.
In the Instant 6.4.0.2-4.1 release, it is recommended to have a maximum of upto 80 AirGroup servers in the
network
