Setting the Bonjour Gateway Configuration

Bonjour is Apple‘s zero-configuration networking (Zeroconf) implementation. Zeroconf is a group of technologies that include service discovery, address assignment and hostname resolution. Bonjour locates the devices (printers, computers etc.) and services these computers provide over a local network.

Bonjour provides a method to discover services on a local area network (LAN). Bonjour allows users to set up a network without any configuration. Services such as printers, scanners and file-sharing servers can be found using Bonjour. Bonjour only works within a single broadcast domain. However, with a special DNS configuration, it can be extended to find services across broadcast domains.

Note

Up to eight (8) Bonjour discovery policies can be configured.

The following options can be configured:

• Configuring a Bonjour Discovery Policy
• Configuring a Bonjour Forwarding Policy

Note

The WiNG 7.1 release does not support Bonjour on AP505 and AP510 model access points. This feature will be supported in future releases.
