bonjour-gw-discovery-policy

Bonjour is Apple‘s zero-configuration networking (Zeroconf) implementation. Bonjour enables automatic IP address assignment, name to address resolution, and service discovery without having to configure a DHCP server, DNS server, and Directory server. When configured and applied on a WLAN, the Bonjour Gateway Discovery policy queries for and locates Bonjour devices (printers, computers, file-sharing servers, etc.) and services these computers provide over a local network. Bonjour works only within a single broadcast domain. However, with a special DNS configuration, it can be extended to find services across broadcast domains.

Use this command to configure a Bonjour GW Discovery policy. The policy defines a list of services clients can discover across subnets. A maximum of 8 (eight) policies can be created on access points, wireless controllers, or service platforms.

When configured and applied, this feature enables Bonjour services on local and tunneled VLANs.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Syntax

bonjour-gw-discovery-policy <POLICY-NAME>

Parameters

bonjour-gw-discovery-policy <POLICY-NAME>
<POLICY-NAME> Specify the Bonjour GW Discovery policy name. If the policy does not exist, it is created. In the Bonjour GW Discovery policy configuration mode, use the allow-service keyword to configure the services that the Bonjour gateway is allowed to discover. A maximum of 16 (sixteen) service rules can be created. Optionally, you can restrict this facility for users on specific VLANs. To do so, specify the VLAN IDs.

Execute the bonjour-gw-forwarding-policy command to enable forwarding of Bonjour service responses across VLANs.

To associate a Bonjour GW Discovery policy with a WLAN, in the WLAN configuration mode, execute the following command: use > bonjour-gw-discovery-policy > <POLICY-NAME>. For more information, see use (wlan-config-mode).

To associate a Bonjour GW Discovery policy with a VLAN, in the interface VLAN configuration mode, execute the following command: use > bonjour-gw-discovery-policy > <POLICY-NAME>. For more information, see use.

To associate a Bonjour GW Discovery policy with a user role, in the role-policy - user-role - configuration mode, execute the following command: use > bonjour-gw-discovery-policy > <POLICY-NAME>. For more information, see use.
