Q: Airplay over Ethernet (Cisco Switch)

Hi There.

I have an iPhone 6 and the latest Apple TV.

The iPhone connects over WIFI to a Virgin Media SuperHub 3 (192.168.0.1)

The SuperHub is connected to a Cisco ESW 540 switch (192.168.0.5), and the Apple TV (192.168.0.108) is connected to the switch

When I try to use AirPlay it shows on the iPhone and says connected, but doesn't actually display anything. After a few minutes the iPhone loses sight of the AppleTV.

I have enabled the Bonjour Service on the Switch and also IGMP snooping.

If I connect the apple TV directly in

AppleTV 2, iOS 9.1

Wow, you must have a production line of Apple TV's and volunteers going to have tested all the suggestions on those pages in just 9 minutes, it would take me several hours.

I had attacked the generic help files before posting. I've been trying to fix this for 4 days so, yes, I've been through the pages you recommended.

Thanks tho.
