Can the OmniSwitch 6900 handle Bonjour protocol?

[frank]

Hi all,

Anyone has experience with the 6900 and can confirm that it can handle Bonjour protocol (airplay / AirPrint) ?
Thank you

Hi Frank,
yes - all switches can it. This protocols are using mDNS (so this is multicast). Within the same vlan you can leave the default - multicast will flooded at all ports within the same vlan. But this is not my recommendation. If you would like to handle multicast like multicast we have to activate it (and need a querier). See a lot of my other posts
For mDNS and ssdp (used for upnp) between differnet vlans use the following commands:

Code: Select all

zeroconf mode gateway
zeroconf mdns admin-state enable
zeroconf ssdp admin-state enable
zeroconf gateway-vlan-list 1 10 11

Best regards
Silvio
