Multicast Routing (Apple Bonjour) on 5406zl

[Torsten Kurbad]

Hello,

we are about to introduce VLANs to our network. Thus, I successfully set up a 5406zl (incl. Premium Edge license) to act as a routing switch between 15 VLANs.

There's, however, still one issue left:
The printers in VLAN 4 should be able to advertise themselves via Bonjour to VLAN 8. Therefore, I enabled multicast-routing, pim, and rip in the global context of the switch as well as pim-dense, rip, and igmp in the affected VLANs (4 and 8).

Nontheless, the clients in VLAN 8 are unable to see the bonjour printers in VLAN 4.

What am I missing here?

Thank you in advance
Torsten

Hello,

http://developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour/faq.html

IIRC the multicast mDNS range is 224.0.0.x and so the switch assume (per RFC) it's a mcast address for propagation on the local subnet only! AFAIK no way you can route mDNS between vlans..

Best regards,

Antonio

Hello Antonio,

thank you for your quick reply.

I was able to solve the issue, without utilizing multicast, by static DNS-entries, i.e. "wide area bonjour".

Best regards,
Torsten
