Bonjour WLC setup question

Josh Sprang

I have a WLC 8500 pair setup in the centralized in the datacenter.  All APs register the 8500 and talk back to the controller and the SSIDs are Mapped to VLANs inside the datacenter via CAPWAP.  The data center is setup with multiple layer 3 boundaries crossed before traffic reaches each site where the APs are.   Everything works fine but users wish to use Airprint or bonjour so iPADs, iPhones, etc can print.  Printers are wired in at each site so this traffic is local to the site.  Is this possible when the WLC is in a remote site and needs to cross layer 3 boundaries before it sees the printer when bonjour is link local multicast?

I believe you will need to configure an ap in the remote site for mdns snooping. Once you enable that, you will be able to specify which vlan the bonjour servcies are on. Dont forget to configure the switchport the ap is connected to as a trunk and add the vlan to it.  This will allow the wlc to learn about the service by allowing this ap to sniff the wire. 

Do you have wireless to wireless bonjour working?
