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 or HTTPS. (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 and runs on the Management VLAN. The Bonjour
console automatically detects the device and displays it.
Bonjour in Layer 2 System Mode
Bonjour Discovery can only be enabled globally, and not on a per-port or per-
VLAN basis. The switch advertises the services enabled by the administrator.
When Bonjour Discovery and IGMP are both enabled, the IP Multicast address of
Bonjour is displayed on the
Adding IP Multicast Group Addresses
page.
When Bonjour Discovery is disabled, the switch stops service type
advertisements and does not respond to requests for service from network
management applications.
