When Bonjour Discovery is disabled, the device stops any service type
advertisements and does not respond to requests for service from network
management applications.
To globally enable Bonjour when the system is in Layer 2 system mode:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Discovery - Bonjour.
STEP 2 Select Enable to enable Bonjour Discovery globally on the device.
STEP 3 Click Apply. Bonjour is enabled or disabled on the device according to the
selection.
Bonjour in Layer 3 System Mode
In Layer 3 system mode, each interface (VLAN, port, or LAG) can be assigned an
IP address. When Bonjour is enabled, the device can send Bonjour Discovery
packets on all interfaces that have IP addresses. Bonjour can individually be
assigned on a per-port and/or per-VLAN basis. When Bonjour is enabled, the
device can send Bonjour Discovery packets to interfaces with IP addresses that
have been associated with Bonjour on the Bonjour Discovery Interface Control
table. When the device is operating in Layer 3 system mode, go to IP
Configuration > Management and IP Interface > IPv4 Interface to configure an
IP address to an interface.
If an interface, such as a VLAN, is deleted, Goodbye packets are sent to deregister
services that the device is advertising from the neighboring cache table within the
local network. The Bonjour Discovery Interface Control Table shows interfaces
with IP addresses that are associated with the Bonjour feature. Any Bonjour
advertisement can only be broadcasted to interfaces listed in this table. See the
Bonjour Discovery Interface Control Table on the Administration > Discovery -
Bonjour page. If the available services are changed, those changes are advertised,
deregistering services that are turned off and registering services that are turned
on. If an IP address is changed, that change is advertised.
If Bonjour is disabled, the device does not send Bonjour Discovery advertisements
and it does not listen for Bonjour Discovery advertisements sent by other devices.
To configure Bonjour when the device is in Layer 3 system mode:
STEP 1 Click Administration > Discovery - Bonjour.
STEP 2 Select Enable to enable Bonjour Discovery globally.
