You can control which services Bonjour Gateways share with each other by creating filter rules. A filter rule controls the sharing of services by source and destination VLANs, by the number of management subnet hops away the receiving BDD (Bonjour designated device) is from the sending BDD, and by realm name. See Bonjour Gateway and Bonjour Gateways.
Note
The default behavior of the filter rule is to deny services and any rule you add automatically permits the specified service. Also, as filter rules are applied in order from the top until a match is found, the order of the rules is important. Put more specific rules near the top so that broader rules do not override them. If necessary, you can reposition rules within the list by dragging and dropping them.To add a Bonjour filter rule, enter the following, and then select Save:
Service: Choose the name of a previously defined service from the drop-down list, or enter the name of the service in the field. To create a new service, select 
. Enter the information on the New Bonjour Service page, and then select Save.
From VLAN Group: Choose the VLAN group from which a BDD shares services with other BDDs. If you do not want to restrict the sharing of services based on source VLANs, choose Any. To create a new VLAN group, select . Enter a name for the group, the VLANs to include in the group, and a description of the group, and then select Save.
To VLAN Group: Choose the VLAN group to which services are advertised. If you do not want to restrict the sharing of services based on destination VLANs, choose Any. To create a new VLAN group, select . Enter similar types of information as described for the From VLAN Group, and then select Save.
Note
After specifying the VLANs that you want a Bonjour Gateway to scan for services and the services you want it to advertise to other Bonjour Gateways, you must then reference the profile in the network policy that you apply to devices that you want to function as Bonjour Gateways.Max Wireless Hop: You can specify how many management subnet hops away a BDD can be from another BDD for them to advertise the services that they share. Enter the maximum number of management subnet hops there can be between one BDD and another for the recipient to accept service advertisements. The range of metric values is from 0 to 100. A value of 0, the default, means that there is no maximum distance.
Note
As an example, if the mgt0 interfaces of two BDDs are in different subnets and they are wireless neighbors to one another—that is, they can detect each other's radio signals—they are one hop away. If two BDDs are not within radio range, they learn of one another through a single intermediary member, and the mgt0 interfaces of all three devices are in different subnets from one another, then the two BDDs are two hops away. If there are two intermediary members in two separate subnets between them, then they are three hops away, and so on.Realm: Choose the name of an existing realm to apply this rule only to members of that realm. A realm consists of one or more members within radio range of one another but in different subnets/VLANs. These devices can detect each other automatically. To apply the rule to members of all realms, choose Any from the drop-down list.
Note
If the members are not within radio range, you can put them in the same realm by doing either of the following:Place all of the devices on the same map, or manually set the same Bonjour realm name in the Bonjour Gateway Settings section in individual device configurations.Copyright © 2020 Extreme Networks.
