Legacy mDNS

The mDNS Legacy mDNS Screen is used to create, edit, delete, and view mDNS configuration on your network. Only one mDNS configuration per device is supported.

Configuring mDNS for a Device

Before you begin, configure the GRE tunnel interface before attempting to associate the interface with the mDNS tunnel relay. The GRE tunnel must also be configured on the OmniAccess WLAN controller. An IP address is required to bring the interface up; if necessary, specify a virtual IP address when configuring the interface. Follow the steps below to configure a switch for mDNS.

1. Click the Add icon button to go to the "Add mDNS Configuration" Screen.

2. Click on the Select Devices button to bring up a list of switches that are available for mDNS configuration.

3. Select a switch and click OK. You will be returned to the Add mDNS Configuration Screen and the switch you selected will appear in the Switch field.

4. Complete the fields as described below:

• Switch - The IP address of the selected switch is pre-filled in this field.
• Select OAW Controller - Select an OmniAccess WLAN Controller to which you want to connect.
• mDNS GRE Tunnel - Select a GRE Tunnel to be used to forward packets to the selected OmniAccess WLAN Controller. This is the GRE Tunnel from the OmniSwitch to the OmniAccess Controller. (Only Layer 2 GRE tunnels are supported.)
• mDNS Admin Status - The mDNS administrative status (Enabled/Disabled).
• Router IP Address - The router IP address.
• Router IP Mask - The router IP mask.
• Tunnel Source IP Address - The source IP address of the GRE Tunnel from the switch to the controller. This field is pre-filled with the IP address of the selected switch.
• Tunnel Dest IP Address - The destination IP address of the GRE Tunnel from the switch to the controller. This field is pre-filled with the IP address of the selected OAW Controller.
• VRF ID - The VRF of the GRE Tunnel. This field will only be visible if the device supports the Multiple VRF feature and SNMPv3 was used for discovery.

5. Click OK. The switch will appear in the list of switches on the mDNS Configuration Screen.

Editing an mDNS Configuration

Select the switch in the mDNS Configuration Table and click on the Edit icon to bring up the "Edit mDNS Configuration" Screen. Edit the allowable fields as described above and click on the Apply button.

Deleting an mDNS Configuration

Select the switch in the mDNS Configuration Table, click on the Delete icon, then click OK at the confirmation prompt.
