Configure a Bonjour Gateway

Extreme Networks devices can function as Bonjour Gateways and forward service advertisements across VLAN or subnet boundaries. Use this task to define a Bonjour Gateway profile that specifies which VLANs the Bonjour Gateway scans and which services it shares with other Bonjour Gateways.

Note

You must add at least one filter rule to the Bonjour Gateway profile before you can save it.

Enter the gateway name for referencing in a network policy.
Add an optional description.
Enter the VLANs that you want the Bonjour Gateway to scan for service advertisements.

Use commas to separate multiple VLAN IDs (do not include a space after a comma) and dashes to indicate ranges.
Select the plus sign to add a Bonjour filter rule.
Choose the name of a previously defined Service from the drop-down list, or enter the name of the service in the field.
1. To add a new service, select the plus sign.
2. Enter the service name.
3. Enter the type.
4. Select Save.
Choose the VLAN group from which to share services.

If you do not want to restrict sharing services based on source VLANs, choose Any. To create a new VLAN group, select the plus sign. Enter a name for the group, the VLANs to include, a description, and then save your new group. See Add a VLAN Group for more information.
Choose the VLAN group to which services are advertised.

If you do not want to restrict sharing services based on destination VLANs, choose Any. To create a new VLAN group, see the previous step.
Enter the maximum number of management subnet hops between one Bonjour device and another for the recipient to accept service advertisements.
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.
Select Save.
