Creating a Bonjour Gateway Service

The Bonjour Gateway service is essentially a list of rules for mapping services from one VLAN to another. Using the Bonjour Gateway feature, the Unleashed AP serves as the proxy for forwarding Bonjour packets to the designated VLANs.

To configure rules for bridging Bonjour services across VLANs:

  1. Select Services > Bonjour > Bonjour Gateway.
  2. Click the Enable Bonjour gateway on AP toggle button to enable the feature.
  3. Click Add, then select Bonjour Gateway to create a new Bonjour service.
  4. Enter a Name and optionally a Description for the service.
  5. Click Add Rule and configure the following options:
    • Bridge Service: Select the Bonjour service from the list.
      • Selecting "Other" allows you to create custom rules, for example, creating a rule for "_googlecast._tcp" would allow you to bridge Chromecast services across VLANs.
    • From VLAN: Select the VLAN from which the Bonjour service will be advertised.
    • To VLAN: Select the VLAN to which the service should be made available.
    • Notes: Add optional notes for this rule.
  6. Click Add to save your changes.
  7. Repeat for any additional rules.
  8. Click Add to save the Bonjour Service.
