3.
Switch 1 checks the outbound filter in VLAN 1. As there is no specific filter therefore it flood the packet in
VLAN 1 (except the source port.)
4.
Switch 1 checks the reflection status. The reflection is enabled on VLAN 2 and 3.
5.
Switch 1 checks the outbound filters on VLAN 2 and 3. In VLAN 3 the outbound filter is set to deny wireless
printer therefore it will not reflect the packet to VLAN 3. There is no specific outbound filter in VLAN 2 so it will
forward the packet to VLAN 2.
6.
In switch 1, wireless printer 1 receives the iPhone 1 query and sends a response. Switch 1 checks the inbound
filter, outbound filter and floods the response to VLAN 1 (except the source port.)
7.
Switch 3 receives the iPhone 1 query and floods the packet in VLAN 2. As there is no specific inbound and
outbound filters in switch 3, there is no associated printers in switch 3. There will not be any further response.
Limitations of the mDNS gateware and Chromecast
The following are limitations of the mDNS gateway and Chromecast features:
• IPv6 is not supported.
• In distributed environment enable gateway in one switch to avoid loops.
• Chromecast v1 (DIAL over SSDP) is not supported.
• Custom filters are not supported.For example:
rule <name> service *tv*
rule <name> instance *ipad*
• mDNS commands are not available from the web and the menu.
• If the user configures both permit and deny for same service/instance and assign that to same VLAN then it is
not valid configuration. System will not behave properly.
• If the user has detected the Chromecast device via a permit profile VLAN and is doing a transition to deny
profile, VLAN will need to clean the cache memory. Otherwise the system might get connected with already
discovered device. It won’t try to discover it again. This is an expected behavior.
Profile and rule limit details
The following are the profile and rule limit details for BTTF and SMB:
BTTF:
Max Profile : 50Max rule per profile : 15Max vlan per profile : 10
SMB:
Max Profile : 25Max rule per profile : 15Max vlan per profile : 5
NOTE:
Max gateway VLAN is depends on Max VLAN supported on the switches.
