Configure Bonjour Gateway Settings

Before you begin

Define Bonjour Gateway settings in the network policy.

About this task

Use this task to choose the AP you want to act as your Bonjour Gateway Designated Device (BDD) at the device level. If possible, use the newest model AP you have in a low traffic area.

Procedure

  1. Select the Hostname of the device.
  2. Select Configure.
  3. Set the priority for the AP you want to use as your BDD to around 250.
    By default, every AP is set an automatic priority level (10-20) for the Bonjour service. The AP with the highest priority setting will act as the Bonjour Gateway. The MAC address is used if the priority is the same on all APs.
  4. Optionally, rename the Realm, or leave blank to use the existing name.
  5. Select Save.

What to do next

Push a complete configuration to the BDD, followed by a Delta update to all other APs.
