•Bonjour support is aware of personal devices. For example, an Apple TV in a dorm room can be associated with the student who owns it.

•Bonjour support is aware of shared resources.For example, an Apple TV in a meeting room or a printer in a supply room that is available to certain users, such as the marketing department. Or, in a classroom, teachers can use AirPlay to wirelessly project a laptop screen onto an HDTV monitor using an Apple TV.

•When configured with Cloud Network Manager, Bonjour support enables a client to perform a location-based discovery. For example, when a client roams from one Cloud Network Manager cluster to another, it can discover devices available in the new cluster to which the client is currently connected.

2.Select ENABLE BONJOUR SUPPORT. The Bonjour support configuration parameters are displayed.

3.Select ENABLE GUEST BONJOUR MULTICAST to allow the users to use Bonjour support services enabled in a guest VLAN. However, the Bonjour support devices are visible in the guest VLAN and Bonjour support does not discover or enforce policies in the guest VLAN.

4.Select ENABLE BONJOUR SUPPORT ACROSS MOBILITY DOMAINS to enable Inter cluster mobility. Cloud Network Manager supports two types of assignment modes:

• Intra Cluster (checkbox cleared) - The AP does not share the mDNS database information with the other clusters.

• Inter Cluster (checkbox selected) - The AP shares the mDNS database information with the other clusters. The DNS records in the VC can be shared with the all the VCs configured for L3 Mobility.
