Bonjour Gateway

Bonjour Gateway policies enable APs to provide Bonjour services across VLANs.

Bonjour Gateway on the controller provides an multicast DNS (mDNS) proxy service configurable from the web interface to allow administrators to specify which types of Bonjour services can be accessed from and to which VLANs.

For the Bonjour Gateway to function, the following network configuration requirements must be met:

  • The target networks must be segmented into VLANs.
  • VLANs must be mapped to different SSIDs.
  • The controller must be connected to a VLAN trunk port.
Additionally, if the VLANs to be bridged by the Bonjour Gateway are on separate subnets, the network must be configured to route traffic between them.

In this section:

  1. Creating Bonjour Gateway Policies
    A Bonjour Gateway policy must be created for an AP zone before the policy can be deployed to an AP or group of APs.
  2. Applying a Bonjour Gateway Policy to an Individual AP
    Once a Bonjour Gateway policy is created, you can select which AP will serve as the gateway for Bonjour services.
