Why each option
The Session Announcement State setting on a Cisco WLC enables the controller to notify wireless clients when a Multicast Direct video stream cannot be delivered.
SNMP Trap Log sends alerts to network management systems via SNMP and does not provide notifications directly to wireless clients about video stream availability.
Northbound Notification is used to send events to upstream management or orchestration platforms, not to notify individual wireless clients about multicast stream status.
Message of the Day is a static banner displayed at login and has no mechanism for dynamic, real-time notification about video stream availability.
Session Announcement State enables the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP), which the WLC uses with the Multicast Direct feature to advertise available multicast video sessions to clients. When enabled, it also allows the WLC to send a session announcement notifying clients when the stream is unavailable or cannot be granted due to bandwidth constraints. This is the specific control for client-facing multicast session communication.
