STEP  3 Click Apply. Bonjour is enabled or disabled on the switch according to the

Bonjour for a System in Layer 3 Mode
In Layer 3 mode, each interface (VLAN, port, or LAG) can be assigned an IP 
address. When Bonjour is enabled, the switch can send Bonjour Discovery 
packets on all interfaces that have IP addresses. (Go to IP Configuration > 
Management and IP Interface > IPv4 Interface to configure an IP address to an 
interface.) You can enable Bonjour Discovery for individual interfaces. 
If a interface, such as a VLAN, is deleted, Goodbye packets are sent to deregister 
services the switch is advertising from the neighboring cache table within the 
local network. (See the Bonjour Discovery Interface Control Table on 
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.
By default, Bonjour is enabled on all interfaces that are members of the 
Management VLAN. 
If Bonjour is disabled, the switch does not send any Bonjour Discovery 
advertisements and it does not listen for Bonjour Discovery advertisements sent 
by other devices.
To configure Bonjour when the switch is in Layer 3 mode:
STEP 1 Click > Administration > Discovery - Bonjour. The 
Discovery-Bonjour Page
 
opens.
STEP  2 Select the interfaces to be enabled or disabled and added to or deleted from the 
Bonjour Discovery Interface Control table. Bonjour Discover can only enabled on 
interfaces with an IP address.
STEP  3 Click Add to enable an interface and add it to the Bonjour Discovery Interface 
Control table.
