Configure Bonjour Gateway Settings

Define Bonjour Gateway settings in the network policy.

Use this task to choose the AP you want to act as your Bonjour Gateway Designated Device (BDD) at the device level. If possible, use the newest model AP you have in a low traffic area.

  1. Go to Manage > Devices and select the host name of the AP in the Devices list.
  2. From the Device Details left pane, select Configure.
  3. Under Additional Settings, select Bonjour Gateway Settings.
  4. Set the Priority for the AP you want to use as your BDD to around 250.
    By default, every AP is set an automatic priority level (10-20) for the Bonjour service. The AP with the highest priority setting will act as the Bonjour Gateway. The MAC address is used if the priority is the same on all APs.
  5. To modify the realm name, select Override the default real name and set the Realm Name.
    Note

    Note

    A realm name is automatically generated by placing this device on a map (the auto-generated name is the building name). Modifying the realm name here overwrites the auto-generated realm name.
  6. Select Save Bonjour Gateway Settings.
  7. To update the device immediately, select Update.
  8. Select the type of update, and then select Save as Defaults to save this option as the default action.
  9. To update the device immediately, select Perform Update.

Push a complete configuration to the BDD, followed by a Delta update to all other APs.
