Configuring Bonjour Discovery
As a Bonjour client, the switch periodically broadcasts Bonjour Discovery protocol
packets to directly-connected IP subnet(s), advertising its existence and the
services that it provides, for example, HTTP, HTTPs, and Telnet. (Use the
Security
> TCP/UDP Services
page to enable or disable the switch services.) The switch
can be
discovered
by a network management system or other third-party
applications. By default, Bonjour is enabled on the Management VLAN. The
Bonjour console automatically detects the device and displays it.
Bonjour for a System in Layer 2 Mode
When the switch is in Layer 2 mode Bonjour Discovery is enabled globally; it
cannot be enabled on a per-port or per-VLAN basis. The switch advertises all of
the services that have been turned on by the administrator based on the
configuration on the
Services
page.
When Bonjour Discovery and IGMP are both enabled, the IP Multicast address of
Bonjour is displayed on the
Adding IP Multicast Group Address
.
