Enabling Bonjour Gateway
Bonjour
TM
is Apple’s implementation of a zero-configuration networking protocol
for Apple devices over IP. It allows OS X and iOS devices to locate other devices
such as printers, file servers and other clients on the same broadcast domain and
use the services offered without any network configuration required.
Multicast applications such as Bonjour require special consideration when being
deployed over wireless networks. Bonjour only works within a single broadcast
domain, which is usually a small area. This is by design to prevent flooding a large
network with multicast traffic. However, in some situations, a user may want to offer
Bonjour services from one VLAN to another.
ZoneDirector’s Bonjour Gateway feature addresses this requirement by providing
an mDNS proxy service configurable from the web interface to allow administrators
to specify which types of Bonjour services can be accessed from/to which VLANs.
