Configuring a Bonjour Forwarding Policy

About this task

A Bonjour forwarding policy enables the discovery of services on VLANs not visible to the device running the Bonjour Gateway. Bonjour forwarding enables the forwarding of Bonjour advertisements across VLANs to enable the Bonjour gateway to build a list of services and VLANs where services are available.

Only one (1) Bonjour forwarding policy is configurable.

Note

There must be Layer 2 connectivity between devices for forwarding to work.
