Bonjour gateway deployment, do i need vlan select?

[Ton V Engelen]

Hi

I m working on a solution for AppleTV, but some things are not clear to me.

Q: If i m going to do a Bonjour Gateway deployment, do i still need the vlan select feature on the wism's or is enabling multicast enough?

Details of the Q:

I m working with WISM s and WISM2;s, 1130 and 3602 ap;s. Cores are 6509-E's.

i m going to implement a Bonjour gateway (which is an Aerohive ap, no wifi enabled, its just a Bonjour gateway)

This ap is connected with a trunk port (to a 6509-E) and has the wifi client vlans on the trunk as allowed vlans. It also has an allowed vlan for AppleTV;s which will be wired devices.

The Aerohive gateway gets an ip address in every wifi subnet, so far so good.

I was thinking that if i enable multicast :

- globally on the wisms, with mcast-mcast distribution

- on the SVI's for the wifi client vlans

- on te SVI's of the vlans for cisco aps

- on the SVI for AppleTV

- SVI for wism management

- SVI for the Bonjour gateway

then do i still need vlan select? Maybe a stupid question, but i m not sure how to interpret some things in this document.

Take a look at this guide as it explains what needs to be configured on the WLC and the network when using a bonjour gateway.

Hi,

that is the same document why i have asked this question.

I know it states what has to be configured, but i dont like to configure something that i dont quite get.

In this document, it is just not clear to me why vlan select is needed when deploying a gateway.

The gateway here has an ip address in each wifi vlan and an ip address in the Apple TV lan. I already tested that.

Mcast will be globally enabled on the wlan and already is enabled on the lan, so still wondering if i really need vlan select and its unfortunately not clear to me from the document.

Thanks!

No you don't. I don't run that on my installs or on my home lab.
