Discovery—Bonjour
Bonjour enables the WAP device and its services to be discovered by using
multicast DNS (mDNS). Bonjour advertises services to the network and answers
queries for the service types that it supports, simplifying network configuration in
your environments.
The WAP device advertises these service types:
• Cisco-specific device description (csco-sb)—This service enables clients
to discover the Cisco WAP devices and other products deployed in your
networks.
• Management user interfaces—This service identifies the management
interfaces available on the WAP device (HTTP and SNMP).
When a Bonjour-enabled WAP device is attached to a network, any Bonjour client
can discover and get access to the configuration utility without prior configuration.
A system administrator can use an installed Internet Explorer plug-in to discover
the WAP device. The web-based Configuration Utility shows up as a tab in the
browser.
Bonjour works in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
To enable the WAP device to be discovered through Bonjour:
STEP 1 Select Administration > Discovery - Bonjour.
STEP 2 Enables or disables Bonjour on the WAP device.
STEP 3 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
