Configure a Bonjour Forwarding Policy

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.

Note

Only one Bonjour forwarding policy is configurable for APs, and two policies are configurable for controllers.

Note

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

Go to Policies > Bonjour Gateway > Forwarding Policy.

The Bonjour Forwarding window opens. If any Forwarding policies are configured, they appear in a list in the Forwarding pane. The total number of Forwarding policies is shown in parentheses.
Choose from the following actions:
- Select to create a new Forwarding policy. Proceed to the next step.
- From under the Actions column:
  - Select associated with a policy to modify it. Modify the parameters in accordance with the steps in this procedure.
  - Select associated with a policy to delete it.
Enter a Name for the policy.
Select Add to create the policy.

Note
If you exit the Forwarding policy configuration without first adding and saving any policy rules, the configured policy persists, but only until you log out.
Select to add a new policy rule.

Configure the policy rule parameters as described in Forwarding Policy Rule Parameters.

Advertisements from VLANs that contain services are forwarded to VLANs containing clients.
