Configuration with LANconfig

The Bonjour proxy is configured with LANconfig under Multicast > Bonjour.





The following settings are available:
Bonjour proxy activated
Use this checkbox to enable or disable the Bonjour proxy.
Network list
Use this table to specify the networks between which Bonjour services may be discovered. To function properly, the networks or interfaces need to be configured with an IPv4 or IPv6 address. This table offers you the following options:




Name
Specify a unique name for this table entry.
Entry active
Enable or disable this table entry.
Server interface
Set the name of the IPv4 network or IPv6 interface that is used to provide the Bonjour services (e.g. print services).
Client interface
IPv4 network name or IPv6 interface name to be used for Bonjour clients to discover services on the server network
Services
This references an entry in the list of services. Clients are only able to find services contained in this list. Non-listed services are rejected.
Note: If this box is left empty, all services are allowed.
Comment
Enter a comment about this table entry.
Services list
In this table, create a list of Bonjour service types that are available for use in the Bonjour network list.
The following settings are available:




Name
Specify a unique name for this table entry.

Enter a comma-separated list of services that are to be available for use in the Services table.
Services
This table is used to specify the Bonjour service types that can be used in the services list. Additional settings are available as follows:

Service type
Specify the Bonjour service type as a DNS SRV record, e.g. with _http._tcp.local.

Automatically request network list services
With this item enabled, the device sends regular queries about which services (as specified in the network list) are available from the corresponding server interface. This option is enabled by default. This setting is also recommended.
Note: If this setting is disabled, you need to manually enter the services to be queried into the Query client table.
Query client
To keep the Bonjour proxy services cache up-to-date all times, you need to configure regular queries about the desired services. The query client regularly contacts the configured service types for information about their availability.




Name
Specify a unique name for the corresponding entry.
Entry active
Activates or deactivates this table entry.
Server interface
Set an IPv4 network name or an IPv6 interface name that is to offer the Bonjour services (e.g. print services) and which will regularly be used by the router to make the queries.
Services
This references an entry in the list of services. These services are regularly queried by the router at the server interface. This entry may not be empty.
Query client interval
Set the interval in minutes in which the query client updates the Bonjour services configured in the Query client table. 15 minutes are defined by default.
Instance limit
Specify the maximum number of service instances that the Bonjour proxy stores at the same time.
