mDNS Snooping
Bonjour is a zero-configuration support protocol by Apple Inc. The Bonjour protocol
supports service and device discovery in home networks.
To support the Bonjour protocol on enterprise networks, the APC mDNS snooping
supports the following functions:
• Bonjour service support between wired and wireless devices connected
to other VLANs
• Access control for the Bonjour service using service strings
mDNS Snooping function supports following two modes:
• Bridge mode: Forwarding mDNs packet to another interface which is
configured as mDNS Snooping.
• Proxy mode: After receiving and saving mDNS Response packet, APC
transmits mDNS Response for mDNS Request instead of APC.
